      Far more sensible fight for Khan than going up to 147. Good start to the year for boxing allround!
       
      Hard to see past Mayweather but the other two fights are competitive indeed IMO.
       
      Bradley
      Peterson
      Mayweather
       
      Those are my picks and I only say Peterson as he goes into the fight with advantage of being the belt holder. Fair play to Khan for taking the fight as if he loses its a big drop.
      Life is not about the chapters....Its about the book.

          Maidana v Alexander is up soon too. Realy looking forward to this fight! Its not an unreasonable argument that Alexander should have 3 losses out of his last three fights realy,lol.

            Who are you going for in that one mate?
             
            I think it comes down to whether Maidana can knock him out as it's difficult to see him getting a decision on a Don King card in Alexanders home town. Matthysse put him down and should of got the nod but I always think that his work rate lets him down and that's a problem Maidana shouldn't have. Alexander quit when things got tough against Bradley so hopefully Maidana can put him under pressure early and grind out a stoppage win. Only a ten rounder again though!

              I fancy Maidana as hes not quite got the skills Matthysse has and will simply look to bludgeon him from the very start and bust him up,lol.
               
              Matthysse got robbed. His fellow Countryman may set that score straight. Would be surprised if Alexander wants to know after the first few rounds.
               
              Whats your pick mate?

                Has maidana move up in weight?  I fancy maidana to win, I enjoy watching him fight because he just goes all out for the k.o from start to finish, he's starting to fill out a bit.

                    I think Maidana can win mate, I think he'll outwork Alexander and land the more meaningful blows, not sure if he'll be able to stop him though, then it comes down to whether he gets the nod on the cards as Alexander will be landing the flashier punches which he's bound to get credit for on the cards. Don't really think the move up to 147lbs is going to help either guy but in this match up I would think if it did favor someone then it would be Maidana.
