    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
    it does work pretty good actually, his face doesnt seem to get marked up much nowadays. I guess the story of his career gets them a little excited though.

    anyway, the fact that I can watch as huge a fight as Kessler vs. Calzaghe without having to pay 50 bucks for it, makes it way better in my eyes, haha.
    Im not sure how their styles will match up actually. part of me feels like its gonna be an akward fight with lots of misses or glancing shots, while the other part makes it feel like theyll be trading big shots and flurries left and right.

      i don't think Barrera is overrated... it's just that his ring age is definately looking catch up with him at this point in his career

        i have personally been waiting for Mayweather-Hatton for two years now. So that one gets my vote. I expect Calzaghe-Kessler to be a great fight too.

          I want to see Mayweather Hatton the most considering the winner will probably get fighter of the year honors. The moment I heard Cal-Kes was not on ppv it immediatly shot up to second place, should be a great fight for sure. I want Kes to win because I think Roy Jones would fight him in his first defenst, if Cal wins he might fight b-hop which will also be a great fight.

              PAC-MAB was a big upset, and they are both legends. So the long awaited rematch is a big event.
              PBF is p4p number 1, Hatton has a very different style and its a great matchup of 2 undeafeted young champions.

              Ive never seen Kessler fight. I dont think they have shown one of his fights in the UK. Hes not a big name.

              But i cant wait to watch Calzaghe-Kessler. The other fights all involve big weel known fighters.

              I think POPULAR is the word.

                  Basically, the four people in aforementioned fights have big names on their list of opponents. Kessler and Calzaghe (excluding Lacy and somewhat Manfredo).. not so much.

                      I'll tell u my reason. Its because I don't care about fighters outside of the US. If the fight was in the US it would be talked about more. MAB-Pac and Floyd-Hatton are in the US(both in Vegas if I remember).
