Out of Haye, Hatton and Calzaghe.

I'll say Haye(hopefully his weight won't drain em), Calzaghe and Mayweather.

Haye - As long as he is patient - musn't out punch himself like he did against Thompson.

Mayweather - No doubts - Just a question how

Calzaghe/Kessler is a closer fight than a lot may believe - If the Dane gets a good start things could get interesting - problem is he is going to have to stop Calzaghe to beat him - therein I suppose lies my answer - lets face it he will not outwork Calzaghe - would love to see a shock - it would be hilarious.

can't say on the Haye fight, i think Haye is good but haven't seen more than a handful of his fights, and seen very little of his opponent so i will not comment.

Calzaghe and Hatton both by tight decisions imo. Both very competitive and exciting bouts too.

No, not at all. Calzaghe will figure the sometimes simplistic kessler out. Hayes immense power will come to fruition againt mormeck. Hatton will nick a points win against the previous untouchable floyd.

Jobsa good un.

What odds on all 3 winning I wonder?

A quick look at Bet365 reveals you can get odds of 8/1 on the treble. I'm sure you can get better elsewhere though.

I'm loyal to our boys so it's Calzaghe, Haye and Hatton for me. I'm not going on logic for these three. :box:

Mayweather... really am not sure on the remain 2.

Witter - but it could be interesting.

Mayweather beats Hatton, however I think Haye is young enough and good enough to beat JMM, Calzaghe don't really know Witter should win.

Mormeck, Hatton; Calzaghe and Kessler draw.

Mormeck, Calzaghe, Mayweather

Haye has a big chance early doors, but if he does not blow Mormeck out inside three, he'll probably blow himself out. His stamina is piss poor and at this level that will become very evident.

His stamina looked okay agianst Fraggomeni, and Mormecks wasnt too hot against Bell.

Haye to lose by KO - Hatton win by KO - Calzage win on split decision or just by one round - Witter to lose by KO - The most difficult to predict is the Calzaghe/Kessler fight which I think is going to be won on points with some difficult rounds to score - Haye will find Mormek just too much and will tire trying to land the bomb - Hatton will leave Mayweather nowhere to retreat to, and will nail him in the ribs - Witter will be floored late after all attempts at landing the big one fail - Love to see all four Brits on the winning side but thats the way I see it with all the glory going to our mega champ Ricky.

Witter & Calzaghe are just too boring to bother with. Hatton will have too much pressure for Mayweather, he just runs & taps out arm punches. The only place he can run is right out of the ring.

I would usually pick a boxer over a pressure fighter but Hatton just throws too many to keep him off.

Wonder what excuse the Yanks will make this time when one of their guys loses to a Limey!

Haye Mormeck - Not Sure
Kessler (tough one though)
Mayweather (comfortably)

Haye
Calzaghe
Mayweather
Witter

Hatton to win by KO?
I hope you're right Waylon and I'd very much enjoy all the stick you'd give us for being pessimists the next day.

Calzaghe - Will piss home Lacy style I really believe. I will bet with anyone he wins by at least six clear rounds.

Hatton - Yep, I've got a feeling he will get lucky with a body shot or a tight and controversial decision in Vegas.

Mormeck - At the weight and under pressure Haye will swallow or have an 'injury' mid fight.

There is a good chance all three Brits will lose.

Calzaghe is will be favourite to beat Kessler and he's obviously got the best chance of winning. Haye and Hatton will be underdogs and while I give Haye a good shot at beating Mormeck I don't give Hatton much chance against Mayweather (and neither would any other Brit if Hatton wasn't British).

I'm going with Calzaghe, Mormeck and Mayweather right now. The Calzaghe and Mormeck picks may change, because I'm torn on those fights, but the Mayweather pick won't.

Cant see Joe walk it with Kessler myself - I think it could be Joes toughest ever fight - I half agree with you on the Hatton/Mayweather fight, my bet is Ricky sticks a good one into Mayweathers ribs but if there was to be a controversial decision it would definately go in favour of Mayweather - Trying to beat Mayweather on points is not a good plan and the only way to beat him I can see, is by stoppage - My worry with Ricky is getting a bad cut and if that happens the fight is Mayweathers - Mormeck for me as well, just cant see Haye winning that one.

All three fights are tough ones with no real underdogs - Each fighter has to respect and take seriously their opponent - Mayweather is probably the most confident out of the six of winning - Most Americans and probably most Brits who have seen Mayweather in past fights will be predicting a Mayweather win - Ricky isnt going there to fight Mayweather for the honour of sharing the same ring - He wants the honour of being the first man to beat him which I believe is only possible if he gets the stoppage - I think Ricky and his camp are focussed on winning not getting a huge payday win or lose - I definately believe regardless of being British or a Ricky fan he is in with a good chance as long as he can land the cruel bodyshots he is famous for and stop Mayweather - Ricky is also known for his relentless pressure which I think will test Mayweather to the limit as good as he is - As I said in another post, my concern is Ricky getting a bad cut - If he does the Hatton dream will be over but with a lot of dignity and respect for a great, if not the greatest ever British fighter.

There is no chance in Hades of Hatton winning "by tight decision". He is fighting the top American ....in America.

He could be 5 rounds up on your scorecard and mine and he'll lose the decision.

Hatton HAS....absolutely HAS to stop Mayweather to win in my opinion. Slicing him in half with one of those hooks to the body would be the order of the day.
