The surprise fight imo will be the so called re-birth of jermaiin against pavlik. Don't hate me for this but i see hatton getting beat a lot easier than most think and i think everyone expects a war between kessler and joe so i think taylor will shock a lot of people and win this poll
im guessin thas in ur perfect worldQuote:

In my Perfect World...
Hatton W12 Mayweather,
Calzaghe Ko 10 Kessler,
Taylor Ko 4 Pavlik
I'm going to have to go with Taylor v Pavlik because of Kelly's aggressive style and JT has a point to prove. Not a fan of Calzaghe think he is massively over rate and beat a very limited fighter in Jeff Lacey and haven't seen much of Kessler. Mayweather will use his super efficient style of pot shotting and backing up to get a UD or KO depending on how frequently he is able to land, Hatton doesn't have the style to beat Floyd as you need a good technical game to cause him problems someone like a Winky Wright with a good solid jab (to neutralize his speed and back him into a corner) and tight defense (to avoid the quick counters)
I voted Kessler Vs. Calzaghe.
And I am hoping it will be free for US viewers.
I don't hate you, Mar. You speak the truth.Quote:

For me personally, it's impossible for Taylor/Pavlik to be anything but a brawl considering how Pavlik WILL force Taylor to exchange. Don't get me wrong I like Taylor, but I have a hard time seeing him being so defensively sound that he'll be able to elude the exchanges that are going to take place.
I see people on the board here recently talking of how this is the best year in boxing history... well maybe so
I reckon Hatton, Kessler & Taylor are gonna lose their 0s
Hopefully not tho :)
Hope Hatton doesn't ;)Quote:

No doubt mayweather will have his moments in the fight but Ricky will do whatever it takes to get the advantage even if that includes a bit of holding and throwing him around like a rag doll. It may not be the cleanest fight but being a little biased i dont mind as long as hatton pulls off the win.
Taylor by late KO- I reckon this is the fight that will earn JT the recognition he deseves. His last several fights have been poor performances due to both a clash of styles and his lack of will to engage in a fight but he has still managed to get the bettter of great fighters such as Hopkins, Wright, Ouma and Spinks. This time though he's facing a fighter who is coming with the aim to knock his block off so hopefully we will witness a real tearup. I think Pavliks size and strength will cause problems early on but JT will have the skill and experience to KO an exhausted challenger in the later rounds.
Calzaghe and Kessler i just cant pick!!! - Being a Calzaghe fani cant imagine him being defeated in his home city in the biggest fight of his carear but he has been the top supermiddle for a hell of a long time and if anyone can end the reign I have a gut feeling it will be the great Dane. Kessler's style may be a little robotic but he's a powerful puncher and couild be the man to finaly Ko Calzaghe, so what the hell i will take my ass off the fence and pick Kessler no cant do it i'll go calzaghe!! Sh*t put me back on that fence i cant decide!!
As far as expectations go, I think Kessler & Calzaghe both have a very positive ''come to fight'' attitudes.
I love all 3 of these match ups, for me though I'm most anticipating Hatton v Mayweather.
