Wlad v Peter Povetkin v Haye Pavlik v Calzaghe Kessler v Taylor Dawson v Tarver Cotto v Mayweather Hatton v Malignaggi Pacman v Diaz Molitor v Lopez Who garners more respect if they were to win, in your opinion?
Peter. For beaten the HW champion and coming back from a previous loss to him aswell. Haye. Everyone already knows Povetkin will make it. Haye would get massive respect for beaten a man who is definately a top 6 HW at present. Pavlik. He will have been the first to defeat the p4p #1/2. Taylor. Because nobody really rates him and stepping up to beat the heir to Calzaghe's throne would be a huge win for him. Tarver. Most would say Tarver is finished if Dawson beats him, however if the Magic Man beats the hottest prospect at 175 he should get a lot of credit. Mayweather. Because all the claims of himing fearing Cotto and ducking him would go away and he would be assured greatness. May be a bit controversial picking Mayweather over Cotto but Money May can be beaten as Castillo showed and he would be only a slight underdog. Malignaggi. Because he's the underdog imo and I don't rate him but if he beat Hatton I would give him credit certainly. Diaz. Because despite it being Pacman stepping up he's still a big underdog and beating the p4p #1/2 would be a huge, huge victory for him. Lopez. Because Molitor is a very slick and already established boxer while Lopez has only recently come on the seen, beating imo the 3rd best 122 would earn him huge credit.
Peter, cause Wlad would be a huge favorite Haye, cause he's untested at heavyweight Pavlik, cause Calz would be a huge favorite Kessler would garner more respect in the US, but the rest of the world would be more impressed if Taylor won. Tarver, because beating a young, relatively established champ at his age is impressive Cotto cause Mayweather would be the favorite Malignaggi because Hatton is already established. Diaz cause Pac would be the favorite Molitor cause Lopez knocked out Ponce De Leon on HBO
