    heavyweight: Juan Carlos Gomez vs. Alexander Povetkin - Povetkin UD...I think Gomez is a force when he wants to be, but he is not consistant enough. I do feel Gomez is the most ducked fighter at HW tho...and I also feel that if the right Gomez showed up (its like bigfoot tho honestly), he could give Povetkin a really tough night...just as I feel he would do to anyone at HW.

    cruiserweight: BJ Flores vs. Marco Huck - Flores SD...Flores for his size has great hand speed and movement. Huck has already had trouble with a fighter with similar skillsets (Cunningham). Tho Flores doesnt like a dirty, tough fight...and avoids it like the plague. So the opposite wouldnt suprise me.

    light heavyweight : Bernard Hopkins vs. Glen Johnson - Hopkins UD...too much movement, too many different angles. Just a level above Johnson...

    super middleweight : Jermain Taylor vs. Sakio Bika - Taylor UD...Bika's style makes every fight he fights a close one. But he doesnt do well vs handspeed and athletic fighters. Taylor is both of these.

    middleweight: Marco Antonio Rubio vs. Khoren Gevor - Rubio SD/TKO...I think Rubio is slightly the better fighter...but his experience and power is what I would lean on as the deciding factor.

    light middleweight: James Kirkland vs. Yuri Foreman...Foreman UD...too much speed, too much movement...two things I havent seen Kirkland have to deal with yet. Tho Foreman doesnt have any power at all to keep Kirkland honest, so this is a fight I could see going the other way as well.

    welterweight: Shane Mosley vs. Sebastian Andres Lujan - Mosely UD/TKO...Lujan is a good fighter, but he is not on the level of Mosely.

    light welterweight: Ricardo Torres vs. Manny Pacquiao - Pac TKO/KO...tho Torres has shown he can hurt an opponent with his power, he has also shown he can be hurt as well. He doesnt last against Pac's blend of power, speed and workrate.

    lightweight: Juan Diaz vs. Antonio Pitalua - Diaz TKO...too fast, too busy, too varied on offense. The one knock on Diaz I always had was that his movement was average...vs Katsidis he showed tremendous improvement in this...moving away from Katsidis' power...moving out of clinches, but staying in the right position to attack. A wonderful display.

    super featherweight: Rocky Juarez vs. Malcolm Klassen - Juarez UD...havent seen much of Klassen admittingly, but going on the little I have, Juarez seems to be the stronger fighter...also the more experienced. Juarez also has shown to have very good ring intellect, something that I guess comes from fighting (and albeit losing) the greats he has up to this point. I think Rocky is the best fighter out there that hasnt captured a title (tho I expect that to change before all is said and done).

    featherweight: Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Jorge Solis - Gamboa TKO...there are very few fighters at or around Gamboa's weight that I give a chance to beat him. Solis, tho a great fighter, is not one of them.

    super bantamweight: Rafael Marquez vs. Jhonny Gonzalez - Rapha TKO...with the way Marquez fights, his right hand would find Gonzales all night.

    bantamweight : Silence Mabuza vs.Abner Mares - Mares TKO...Mabuza's best is past him...and even then he would have struggled with a fighter like Mares.
