Mega Boxing Fights Still To Come

Anyone here interested in boxing? My predictions for the big fights rounding off 2008 are:

Pavlik - Hopkins , Oct 18 Pavlik points, purely because I think Hopkins has enough tricks to see him through to the end but not outbox Pavlik.
Calzaghe - Jones Jr , Nov 8 Calzaghe points, simply because I believe that Calzaghe is the better man and has the right tools at present.
Malignaggi - Hatton , Nov 22 - Hatton points, personally I think Hatton will dominate, but Paulie has taken beatings in the past without going down though I believe a KO is possible.
Pacquiao - De La Hoya , Dec 6 - Mmm. Youth and speed vs experience and size...still my head says De La Hoya KO.

Any other boxing fans got a take on these fights outcomes?

I was a huge boxing fan but over the years it has really fallen of the radar. It's about as corrupt as EvAv.

Also almost all of the good fights are on PPV. What happened to good fights on HBO?

Pavlik
Jones Jr.
Hatton
Pacquiao

Simple, money talks.

Interesting, any reason in particular you chose Pacquiao? Don't get me wrong, he's a great fighter, but don't you think De La Hoya has too big an advantage physically? As well as the fact that De La Hoya knows he'll lose a lot of credibility if he loses.

Del La Hoya has been beaten by smaller, faster before (Shane Mosley).

I understand about the money but none of these are super fights. They keep pushing viewer away. Although I don't know if these are all PPV.
