Thread: TEDDY ATLAS makes PREDICTIONS on up coming mega-fights!

i dont think pbf can stop hatton but he still wins

mosely over cotto

mab and pacman dont realy care both great

pavlik hope he take care of half ass taylor

kessler beat calzaghe cuz i said so

I think he is right that Taylor beats Pavlik and Kessler beats Calzaghe.
I think Mosley beats Cotto unless he gets old
and Pac beats Barrera again

I think PBF can stop Ricky...but will he risk throwing that many punches that close? Maybe not. So PBF CAN stop Hatton but WILL HE is the question.

Cotto-Mosely is very exciting, Shane is quick and has lots of power and can shine the shoes on Miguel BUT Miguel is young, hungry, and he has the heart of a great champion not to mention he punches as hard as if not harder than De la Hoya....it'll be interesting and I'll be cheering for Cotto but I can't help but think it's a tough style match up for him.

MAB is a smart fighter but I think age has caught up with him

Kessler over Calzaghe

Cotto over Mosley

Mayweather over Hatton

The BARRERA-PACMAN fight still leaves me with I still haven't made my pick. Other than that, I agree with the other 4. What do you guys think. He said Cotto will likely get hurt early, and probably fall, but has great heart and will overcome with a win on a great but tough fight.

Teddy 'Marble Mouth' Atlas is hardly ever right. I think the last time he made a prediction that was correct was back in the early 90's.

Teddy is a Jinx and the fact that he picked Cotto over Mosley, has me a bit worried. Anyway,

My picks are as follows:

Pavlik stops Taylor and Taylor moves up in weight. B-Hop will be waiting And Sergio Mora calls out Pavlik.

Pacquiao stops Barrera and Barrera retires.

Calzaghe beats Kessler on some bs decision and Calzaghe offers Manfredo a rematch

Cotto stops old Mosley but Mosley does not retire. Mosley to fight ODLH again for big cash

Mayweather beats on Hatton like Hatton has never been beat on. Mayweather calls out Cotto.

Gave you a cc on your post due to being a FNF fan long enough to know Teddy is usually wrong. Here's how I see it.

Pavlik over Taylor
Pac over Barrera (although I see it being by decision this time)
Calzaghe over Kessler (it'll be the hardest match he ever wins maybe even have to come off the mat to do it)
Mosely over Cotto (by early to mid rounds stoppage)
Mayweather over Hatton (leaving me pissed off that Mayweather didn't get KTFO)

If Cotto can get through Mosley then Floyd Mayweather Jr. is in TROUBLE!

I got a bit of respect for teddy,well atleast I use to. anyways his pre-fight strategy needs to get cut off FNF. teddy speaks like his tips will really help. which is annoying.

I don't know why we are making a topic over teddys picks but since I'm here anyways let me include my picks=)

taylor beats pavlik. I like pavlik but taylor is prolly raise his game for this fight.

mosley over cotto. we haven't seen mosley very active but I think cotto is going in against the toughest fighter around the division which will surprise him and he`ll regret it come fight night.

kessler over calzagne. kessler more accurate and landing harder shots, will stop joe within 10 rounds.

floyd over hatton. I use to think hattons pressure could trouble floyd but now I doubt it. this fight is at 147, if it was made a few years back at 140 I would of choose hatton but floyd takes this to a u.d. while all ricky will do is hold and try to look aggressive.

pacman over mabman. you guys notice everytime someone choose mab to win the reason is because pac will come unfocus or under trained. that's just like saying mab needs to hope pac won't properly train for him to beat pac. pac beat mab at 126,which is where mab reached his prime. this rematch is at 130 which is where pac just reached his prime,mab is in bigger trouble come fight night.

Cotto will knock Mosley.

Hatton will knock Mayweather 12 rounds.

Pacman will knock MAB before 9th round.

My fearless forecast.

If Cotto gets through Mosely then I definately think he will give Mayweather trouble as well. That is, if Cotto doesn't knock him out quickly. If Cotto gets into and looks good into the late rounds then he will have proven himself.

Very true....all a quick KO of Mosley does for Cotto is show the power everyone already knows is there, and maybe shows Shane's age

Pavlik late round TKO over Taylor - Pavlik punch like a ton of bricks.

Barrera UD over Pacquiao - If Barrera is fighting Bobby instead of Manny.

Mosley KO over Cotto - Mosley is just too fast and strong.

Calzaghe UD over Kessler - Kessler will have trouble landing his bombs against the southpaw.

I hate to say this but PBF UD over Hatton - Hatton will have trouble chasing PBF's liver. Same problem ODLH couldn't accomplish.

Teddy was close but Pavlik and Mosely will win their fights.

Is getting 3 out of 5 matches correct for a boxing expert.

I am a Barrera fan but I think Teddy had too much to drink. It could be exciting but then again, we don't know which Barrera will come out. The hound dogs of the press won't be after him like the way they did when they found out about the plate in his head. Cotto vs. Mosley depends on Mosley's legs and combination punching. Speed is what he needs. No speed, no win. Everyone else remains the same and Taylor may be up for his fight and Kessler better have endurance for this one.

I couldnt care less what the bookies say

Barrera over Pac
Calzaghe over Kessler
Pavlik over Taylor
Hatton over PBF
Mosley over Cotto
