BEST FIGHT of the FALL SPECTACULAR???

[C.Y.]

we could potentially have 3 or 4 classic fights this fall

[DiegoFuego]

Cotto-Mosley
Calzaghe-Kessler
Taylor-Pavlik
Mayweather-Hatton
Pacquiao-Barrera II

[Ace Rockolla]

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.

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!).

[Peder]

Calzaghe-Kessler
Cotto-Mosley
Taylor-Pavlik
Mayweather-Hatton
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.
