What are some of your unpopular picks in fantasy matchups? For example some of mine Lennox Lewis 12rd UD Muhammad Ali Chris Byrd 12rd UD Larry Holmes Amir Khan 12rd UD Pernell Whittaker Dwight Muhammad Qawi late stoppage over Bob Foster Ike Ibeabuchi late stoppage over Mike Tyson Also if you disagree with some of these feel free to ask me why I come to that conclusion Mainly what are some of your fantasy matchup upset/unpopular picks
Archie Moore v Evander Holyfield Archie by decision. Any weight they want Liston v Holmes (Liston KO) Marciano KO Wlad
I actually see amir khan winning wide for a few reasons, Amir Khan is quite a bit taller than Whittaker, and the way to beat prime Khan is to time him with a home run shot and Whittaker didn’t have that, I don’t see Whittaker’s head movement serving him well because of Khan’s speed, he would just be too fast for that to work, and if Whittaker boxes at range and tries to pick his punches, I see Khan beating him to the punch with his straight punches from range and when Whittaker tries his head movement he just gets hit all the more, because he wouldn’t have time to see the punches coming and avoid them and Whittaker doesn’t come forward, I just don’t see any way he wins, also if he boxes from range and sticks and moves, I just see Khan’s speed being too much, I don’t see Whittaker outboxing him because of the speed, bad style matchup for him, Whittaker is the far greater fighter though
Tunney UD 1919 Dempsey 1952 Marciano KO 1938 Louis 1973 Foreman KO 1999 Lewis 1962 Liston KO 1988 Tyson
Prime Holyfield SD Prime Holmes Roy Jones Jr UD 1951 Sugar Ray Robinson @ middle weight (I don't think this is an upset but most folks in boxingforum24 land would) Ricky Hatton UD Tommy Hearns @ welter (this would be an upset)
You make some good points. I see Whittaker being comfortable fighting and outclassing Khan on the inside if his jab isn't working (can't remember it failing in his prime tbh).
