    Yes, and I got a pretty damn good record(in predicting fights) this year as well. Have not got one wrong yet. Although to be completely honest I only predicted big fights or fights that had any impact on boxing.

    As for Haye, I just don't think he is that good and his obvious lack of skill would be his tragedy against Mormeck.

    As for Mayweather fight, well, you would be surprised.

      I would be. I've been pretty accurate with my picks this year, too. Perhaps you wanna put some points on the Hatton/Mayweather fight?

        I voted 4-0 because when Earl KO's Khan it will be good for british boxing. If you dont understand what I mean, I'll break it down for you.

        1) The ONLY fights we see on normal, free to air TV, feature an over hyped kid who couldnt take a punch to save his life.

        2) A double page spread, in Hello! or some similar ****, because he went shopping. And you wonder why the Americans laugh at us?

        3) Another dumbass kid who cant drive behind the wheel of a fast car is the last thing we need.....(only reason he aint in prison is cos hes "Amir Khan, the superstar")

        4) Is it really good for our reputation as a boxing nation that the only fights 90% of people are interested in contain the aforementioned over hyped joke?

        British boxing is going to take a dive on the world stage if Amir Khan is allowed to continue thinking he is invincible. The sooner he gets KTFO the sooner britain can go back to supporting REAL fighters.

          As others have said, there'll be a sizeable part of the population that will not only laugh if Khan gets KO'd, but also take Earl to their hearts, esp. after his cracking fight with Katsidis. So whatever happens, that's a "W".

          To date this has gone 3-0... Saturday shall tell us the rest.

            And the reason I wouldn't count the Earl win as a win in general, is because on a world-wide level, it would hurt British boxing. No one in America (casually) will care about Earl, before during or after the fight. In the future, if Khan wins, it could affect things on a world-wide level.

            As far as I knew.. it was 2-0. I'm thinking 3-0 by December 9th though.
            (Khan win, Hatton loss)

              Sorry, I meant 3-0 in that the Khan/Earl bout is already a W.


              I take your point though.

                Ohh, good. Then 3-1 is how I see it finishing. Overall, good news for British boxing.

                  I'm wondering if this could be the year of the green teef. Certainly, I don't see a Paler win as an impossibility.

                    No, not impossible. But the probability, in my opinion, certainly isn't there.
