    It could happen, but the ones I still favor the favorites in are Cotto-Judah, and Hatton-Castillo. Castillo is good and all, though at this point, I think Hatton is too young and has more energy or I should say, more durability to pull a Tszyu type fight where he'll smother Castillo to death until Castillo can't do no more. Youth will be a big factor in that fight. In Cotto-Judah, I agree Zab is dangerous early on, though dangerous enough to hurt Cotto anymore than someone like Torres? Torres was fast, strong, and rocked Cotto though didn't drop him(legitly). Cotto just has to land on that jaw full of platinum teeth(or glass I should say), and Judah's out. If featherhanded Baldomir can rock Judah, I can't imagine what heavy handed, power punching Cotto can do once he lands.

        I think Cotto, Castillo and DLH win. Then again, these fights might easily go the other way too.

          My predictions...

          Cotto UD

          Hatton TKO11

          De La Hoya TKO11 or 12/UD

            I think the reason DLH even though a little past his best, has a great chance against PBF is because he has fought a higher calibre of opponent. PBF is supposed to have fought excellent boxers (in his distant past anyway) but i have to say i think DLH has mixed with superior opposition and this will give him an edge.

            Hatton to decision Castillo, with Castillo hanging on in the later rounds. No actuall i think Hattton will stop Castillo. Castillo might wobble Hatton a bit though as well during parts of the fight.
            Cott in his next fight. I dont know.

              I could easily see any or all of those going that way. I hadnt really thought of the fact that theres three undefeated guys with there records on the line, Judah's gotta be considered the best fighter Cotto has faced, though i think Cotto will win, I keep thinking back to the Torres fight when Cotto was on the canvas like 2 times and he got rocked bad by corley, and Judah isnt exactly feather fisted himself. Also I think Castillo has a really good chance as well, i may even pick him to win that one.

                Cotto will take on Judah, and Zab will be the fastest and most experience opponent Cotto will faced, Judah more than held his own against PBF in the first 4 rounds, toughest fight for Miguel Cotto.

                Forget Castillo's last outing, he's as durable as ever, we may see Barrera-Hamed in a making, the hitman hasnt scored a knockout in his last 2 fights and Castillo has never been knockdown, and I dont think Hatton can do it.

                Mayweather has gotten under Dela Hoya's skin, and Oscar was at his best and sharpest against opponents who trash talks a lot, Vargas, Mayorga, expect floyd to get a real beating come fight time.
                keyword-was. this isn't a was fight. this is a now fight. floyd mayweather is not mayorga or vargas. he is superior to them in every aspect of the fight game. don't have high expectations for oscar to beat up on floyd because you will be extremely disappointed when it doesn't happen. do expect floyd to outsmart pscar and beat up on him, because that's more realistic. oscar doesn't have anything for floyd that is going to shatter his confidence including his left hook. floyd is a smarter fighter imo, much smarter fighter and oscar is in over his head to fight the pretty boy. we'll see what happens come may 5th, but expect floyd to punish oscar, because it will happen.

                  how do you know if baldomir is featherhanded? has he hit you before? carlos rocked judah and rocked gatti, and gatti has taken the worst beatings and has bounced back from them and rarely quit, but he was kncoked out by baldomir, so i'm sure he hits harder than you would like to believe.

                      Zab's chances are legit. He is a excellent fighter and comes in top form for big fights. Zab has enough power to knock out any WW if he lands clean, even if you believe Cotto has a solid chin you can't say that Zab doesn't have the potential to KO Cotto.

                      Castillo also has a good chance at beating Hatton and DLH also has all the advantages that B-Hop enjoyed against him when they fought just in reverse against PBF.

                      But lets not forget that Williams is also a live opponent against Margarito.
