Khan, Hatton, Froch IMO are shoe-ins....take that to the bank:deal Khan will stick on the outside and run Barrera to a standstill...either a fairly humiliating wide UD for Khan or lateish sympathetic stoppage. Pacs career over the past 18 months has been all smoke and mirrors, and he certainly hasn't proved himself above 130 against a live opponent. The first body attack by the much stronger Hatton will show us all we need to know....shockingly early stoppage for the Hitman. Froch will win by sheer force of will...he has the power to trouble Taylor, and the chin so as not to be troubled himself. Late stoppage for the Notts Bod. Haye/Wlad is way too close to call...both have supposedly suspect chins but I think that chinnage in this fight is a moot point as both have immense power and are capable of knocking even the most granite chinned fighter out. The first to land properly wins...if you are going, make sure that you are back from the bar or bogs at the opening bell because you may miss it.
of course you do. froch has looked absolutely fantastic shining off of C+ level fighters and has never faced a high caliber fighter like JT. and at the same time JT seen everything froch has to offer before.
He has...and Pavlik was looking down on him when he saw it.:hey Taylor isn't all that now, and never has been.....christ, the man wouldn't even get on a plane to take a fight that you and others think he wins "easily". Mark my words by insisting on fighting in the US it is obvious that Taylor is looking for a hometown decision.....if its got feathers, clucks, and eats corn its a chicken :deal
froch=pavlik :nut dont even try and compare the level of competiton between the 2. JT is a proven fighter and froch is a dud without a wick. and btw, taylor bounced back from that brutal KO, made adjustments and went 12 rounds in the 2nd fight. many (including myself) thought that he was done and would ever be the same after. and based on that performance along with the lacy blowout is all i need to know....... TALYOR WIDE UD.
Khan & Haye have the best chance of winning. Now anyone who seen Barreras last fight knows hes a bloated shadow of the fighter he once was, couple that to to Khan now training with the legend that is Freddie Roach, Khan will win. As for Haye, if he fights the weaker Klit, his speed & power could be enough to see him through against Wlad. he wouldnt have stood a chance against vitali though. Froch? I like the big ****er, I really do. got massive respect for him calling out Calzaghe, who despite being the better man in my eyes has bottled a fight with the big Nottingham lad. As for Hatton? Expect him to be blown away pretty quickly. He cant & wont deal with Pacs in & out style. Hes simply too one dimensional.
Hatton will easily destroy Pac, hope Ricky does too.:happy Khan wins too but the other two lose bad. Froch hasn't fought real world class yet and Is horribly overrated.
Haye-Klitschko. Haye wins this and wins this big. The Americans are going to be shocked at the talent haye actually possess, but doesn't always use. He is a nightmare for anyone who doesn't have great powers of recovery, because he is an absolute expert finisher. Nothing against Wlad, but this is a terrible match up for him Froch-Taylor. Froch has too much power and determination. Taylor is very, very talented and what he did in the BHop fights should be appreciated more than it is, but so Froch is very skillful and accurate - you don't win a medal in the world ams if you lack skill. Hatton-Pacman. Extremely close fight. Much will depend on Hatton getting back his pre-Tszyu head movement. If Pac keeps catching Hatton, he's in big trouble. If not, i believe Hatton's size, equal workrate and darting footwork will wear down Pac. P4P, Pac is definitely better, so I don't mean this rudely to the Pacman. Khan-Barrera. At first I though Khan walks this, just the sort of fight he needs. the trouble is, all Khan seems to have now is speed and reasonable heavy hands. a lot of what made him such fun to watch as an amateur seems to have gone. Not every fighter needs to change dramatically their styles from am to pro, and I think he might be one of those guys. Barrera, unfortunately.
Khan Hatton Haye Froch Khan will stop Barrera late on but we all know this is just genius matchmaking by Warren to fool the general public. Hatton will get stopped late but the more I think about this fight the more I'm starting to fancy Hatton's chances. Haye will get knocked out but he's capable of doing the same to Wlad. Froch will lose a close but comfortable UD. IMO.
