    Having said I think a 147lb SRL could beat a 168 but also weight drained Rocky Fielding I got to thinking who are the fighters of today who with a significant weight disadvantage I'd still take to get the job done against certain bigger guys.

    I think Beterbiev and Kovalev have a good chance of beating WBA top ten heavyweight David Price even weighing in at 175. What other top ranked fighters do you think could lose against much lighter opposition coming in?

    Answers on a postcard.

    Pacquiao of the Cotto fight would **** the Charlos up, I'd probably favour him over someone like Fielding as well.

    Usyk beats Joshua. That's like a 50lbs difference. I don't think you'll find a better one than that...

    Oh except Usyk beats Ruiz, which is like a 70lbs difference.

    Good answers but David Price would outweigh Beterbiev by 75lbs+ at the weigh in.

    Murodjon Akhmadaliev would KO Caleb Plant
    Inoue would spark out Szpilka
    Rigo would KO Jeff Horn
    Loma would shut Luis Ortiz out 12-0 on the cards
    Spence could WUD12 Ishe Smith

    Rigo Horn would be hilarious. Horn by corner retirement after the goblin hurts his hand.

    I'd pick Joshua to beat Canelo, a roided Mexican monster who would be heavier than AJ on fight night.
