BEST FIGHT of the FALL SPECTACULAR???

#1 Mab - Pac #2 Cotto - Mosley #3 Hatton - Mayweather #4 Pavlik - Taylor

1. Hatton-Mayweather 2. Pavlik-Taylor 3. Calzaghe-Kessler 4. Cotto-Mosley 5. Pacquiao-Barrera II

If Pavlik is able to control the tempo of his fight with Taylor then... Cotto-Mosley Pavlik-Taylor Calzaghe-Kessler Pac-MAB Mayweather-Hatton If Taylor dictates pace and/or fights to avoid Pavlik all night: Cotto-Mosley Calzaghe-Kessler Pac-MAB Mayweather-Hatton Pavlik-Taylor Pac-MAB I think will be entertaining in the same sense as Pac-Morales III - great atmosphere, fast paced but extremely one-sided. If it's not, it's because Barrera turned a potential brawl into a boxing match in efforts to avoid being stopped again. I'm glad Floyd and Hatton are fighting each other from a significance standpoint, but I believe anyone looking for an exciting fight (and worse, a Hatton win) is in for a massive letdown.

what about soto vs guzman

fans rejoice for a great boxing year... you should have had E. all above like those sneaky college exams

No, I know where ur coming from. Every chick I know whose seen him is like "Damn."

Ace: Go out of your way to check out Kessler-Siaca and Kessler-Mundine. You'll feel the hype. :) I'll definitely try to do that bro. The one Kessler fight I saw was vs. Beyer. Like I said, I don't know much about Kessler, but I think if he beats Calzaghe and fights in the US he could become a star here. He's got an exciting style, he's undefeated, and he's a good looking dude (not gay!).

I'm actually surprised anyone would be more hyped about Taylor-Pavlik than Cal-Kess. Pavlik has one solid win; I'm not sure Taylor has any decisive solid wins and few of his fights are exciting. Cal-Kess are combo throwing action fighters, one who is slightly past his best and one at the peak of his game. Must be a borders thing. As an American, I'll admit that I'm probably not giving this matchup the respect it deserves. I think Calzaghe is a great fighter and I find his style entertaining, but never fighting in the states is a great way to guarantee you don't get the props you deserve here (not saying it's fair, but that's the way it is). As for Kessler, I've only seen one of his fights and I think most Americans have a similar limited exposure to him. I'm gonna make every effort to watch this fight, but I just don't know enough about either fighter to get as excited as I am about Pavlik-Taylor, even if it is technically a lesser matchup.

we could potentially have 3 or 4 classic fights this fall

Hey, I would not be shocked if Hatton-Mayweather became a classic. People sleep on Hatton

mayweather - hatton mosley - cotto paquaio - barrera taylor - pavilak calzaghe - kessler i think the taylor fight and the calzaghe fight wont be as exciting as people are hyping it up to be but im sure every bout will be entertaining

Most Exciting: Mosley-Cotto. I don't see this fight being anything other than awesome. Runner-Up: Taylor-Pavlik. I don't think it will be the slugfest some people are predicting, but I think this one is gonna be really entertaining. I see a lot of hard punches being landed even if the action isn't non-stop. Sleeper: Pacquiao-Barrera II. A Pacman runaway victory remains a possibility, but does anyone really feel comfortable counting out Barrera? I think the Baby Faced Assassin wants to make this fight his grand finale, and I just don't see him repeating his 2003 performance.

One more note: boxing media has already been very good to Cal-Kess. It's being treated as an equal to the other big fights by ESPN and if HBO has any sense they'll give it a countdown show like they're doing with Taylor-Pavlik. After all, the Taylor-Pavlik winner is natural for Kessler iof he wins and Cal-Hopkins is natural if the opposite occurs...not to mention that the Kess-Cal winner should be favored over anyone from 60-75 at that point. The reason they are putting so much money into PAVLIK-TAYLOR is: a) Is a garunteed amazing fight b) Its for the Middleweight championship, which has ALWAYS been very popular c) Its WIN/WIN. If Pavliks wins, they have a new superstar. If Taylor wins, they have an old superstar who is now a new superstar (if u know what i mean by that)

Calzaghe-Kessler Everything else. I don't care what the 'mainstream' latches on to. This is the best fight in boxing until proven otherwise.
