    What is the most controvertial or unconventional pick that you have ever made in a fantasy fight?

    Be honest.

    Probably Louis over Ali. It's the one that meets the mose resistance and i'm sick enough of defending it that I don't often mention it anymore. Bet I have to break it down again in this thread.

    Dempsey over Foreman probably. I pick against Marciano a lot, too. Like, almost every time.

    Styles make fights so: Hopkins over Robinson (160); Hearns over Robinson (147) and Bowe over Ali.

    They're all terrible picks TBooze.

    Still, that's the point I guess, if I thought they were great they wouldn't be controversial

    Yeah gotta admit TBooze, i disagree with all of them, i do think that Hopkins Robinson is one where some have their beliefs, but not for me that pick

    Nah, Whitaker over Duran is not controversial at all, its seems to split people about 50.50.

    I bet Janitor picks Langford over Lewis as his mad pick.

    Tiger over Hagler, anyone?

    I think anyone (other than Leonard (Benny)) over Duran at 135 is very controversial.

    Hence:

    Ray Leonard had a proper chin. If Mayweather (Black Mamba) could floor Sweet Pea, then sooner or later prime 135 Duran is going to find that chin IMO.

    Well i obviously am a controversy poster then! Duran for me, just a biased one admittedly! There is a case for either man though in my opinion.
