    Why do so many people prefer MAB-Pac, PBF-Hatton to...

    Mikkel Kessler vs. Joe Calzaghe... i've seen alot of polls asking which fight do you most want to see out of the big 4 this fall and this fight always seems to rank last, and very last... it's pretty sad..

    With Americans it is about name recognition. But, I am so pumped about Calzaghe-Kessler, especially because it is not on PPV.

        joe vs kessler is the second most exciting fight out of the three. Pac will put another beating on mab so there is nothing to look forward to. Mayweather-hatton is going to be amazing.

          uhhh because they've basically been a Euro only attraction and any euro-pub that is getting pumped in the US right now is all eastern bloc HW's.

              im get a lot of **** for this, but i think barrera is rediculously overrated, but thats my opinion anyways

              anyway, i agree that Kessler-Calzaghe is a great great great fight. Its gonna be an instant Classic and i cant wait for it.

              This is the way i rank em

              Kessler-Calzaghe
              Pavlik-Taylor
              Mosley-Cotto
              Mayweather-Hatton
              Pacman-Barrera

              But i insist that they will ALL be great great fights

                  im not saying he wasnt great, hes an excellent, hall of fame fighter. But people, Jim Lampley and Co. in particular overate him a TON

                  Like, he does that roll thing with his head, and they OVERRATE that **** so much.

                  It takes damage off the shot, so maybe he's likely to get busted up, but those punches are still scoring and he doesnt do it nearly as well as Duran did it.

                  idk, i like the guy, but i feel like he's very ovverated

                    Please don't overrated a guy with what the commentators say. Of course they will say a lot of dumb and bias ****. Especially for Barrera whose been one of HBO's poster boys for many years now. You have to appreciate Barrera for his amazing skills in the ring. Just watch him dismantle Hamed, watch it without commentatary and it's like art. I can say that for many of his other amazing fights. You just can't focus so much on the dumb commentators at times who will flip flop and sell out in a heart beat.
