    That would be a good one. Very tough to call.

    Witherspoon stops Bowe
    Dwight Quawi Muhammad stop Foster ( I think someone already mentioned this)
    Lloyd Marshall beats RJJ at super middle
    Luis Manual Rodriguez beat SRL at welter close decision. I think he beat Duran at this weight too.

    Look, after a long think, Usyk beats Liston. Actually, it was more like two minutes. I kinda just thought it when I saw KeedCubano's thread.

    Usyk's southpaw stance, faster hands, awful style and speed advantage is awful for Liston. On his best night(s), I think he is very capable of dancing with the Bear.

    Lol, I understand where you’re coming from. I just think it’s possible that Vitali’s size advantage and iron chin allow him to survive Louis’s offensive onslaught in the earlier rounds. Then as we get to the later rounds, Vitali is able to wear Louis down through an accumulation of punches and get a stoppage. Now maybe the exact opposite happens and Louis wins easily. However, the point of this thread is to come up with upset picks in fantasy matchups, so I’m just trying to think of a major upset that is within the realm of possibility.

    Not really an underdog win, I think most people would agree with you. Bad match up for Floyd
