Early Predictions For The Big 3

[D-MAC]

Big fights coming up for the Premier Three in British Boxing.

Time to test the water for predictions. Here's the schedule:

(1) Joe Calzaghe v Roy Jones Junior

(2) Ricky Hatton v Paulie Malignaggi

(3) David Haye v Monte Barrett

All three Brits will be favourites in their respective contests, but in my opinion none of them are gimmes. Three losses (not probable I know, but possible all the same) and British boxing is on its ass; Calzaghe and Hatton would probably retire and David Haye would have a major rebuilding operation to undertake.

I still lean towards a 3-0 outcome: Calzaghe UD, Hatton UD, Haye KO; but, as I said, I think they are all competitive fights. I'm no fan of that transexual prostitute Paulie, but I think his bout with Hatton is the closest one to call.

How do the rest of you feel?

Anyone think there is an upset looming in one of these contests?

I'm obviously not seeing something in Paulie that other people are picking up on??? Hattons probably not the fighter he was a couple of years ago but theres no way he's going to lose PM unless he's slipped a hell of a lot.
