They happen so often these days i thought i'd take a stab at predicting some for the fun of it:

Chavez Jnr over Sergio Martinez - Top Rank hope for him to be the future cash cow and WBC love him so much that he is exempt from drug testing and can use whatever gloves he wants. Also martinez can be lazy with his output and Chavez could pick up rounds by just throwing plentiful.

Canelo over Mayweather Jnr - a lot less likely bit should the powers that be see Mayweather as a fighter on the verge of retirement should Canelo hang in there and even fight as close a fight as Cotto did (2-4 rounds) I could see them giving the nod to the future cash cow.

Pacquaio V Bradley - If Pacquaio can't KO him could the same happen again or could it be a reverse robbery should Bradley put in a quality performance and the judges want to write the wrong.

anyone else got any predictions

Ye Chavez Jr vs Martinez is a big worry, I can't see them robbing bradley, arum obviously wants him as his new undefeated American ppv draw. Canelo will probably never lose on points. If they ever get like BHop over for cleverly I can see nathan getting the nod but that's a stretch

Devon Alexander V Randal bailey is another one I could see going Alexander's way although I think Alexander can win this one legitimately. In Bailey does impress though and it goes to points I can see this one going the other way.

Martinez fades away during the middle rounds and tends to come back strong during the championship rounds. His most recent foes in Barker and Macklin aided him in fading as the fight went on. If Chavez is smart and utilises his jab and hooks to the body then I see Martinez having problems if he does have his mid-fight lull.

I don't see how that'd mean Martinez would get robbed though. I think it's more likely Chavez wins a close decision in a competitive bout but because he's so disliked by diehards who love Sergio they'll cry robbery.

I could see Donaire getting a dodgy decision against either Nishioka or Rigo if he were to fight either this year. I can't see Nishioka having any chance if the fight happened in Vegas or Texas, and I reckon Rigo would need to score a couple of knockdowns just to get a draw considering some of the judging in the States as of late.

@chatty Alexander v Bailey is a good shout.

Tarvoris Cloud over Pascal because of Pascals style and well we know who Cloud promoter is .... However this is in Canada so Jean might be safe.

Also everytime Amir Khan loses its going to be called a robbery

Khan vs Garcia-Garcia outworks him, lands harder shots while Khan, moving a lot, slaps. Gets decision because people don't really think he lost to Peterson, PEDs and the thought that he ha a brighter future...
