    Whether it's the greats kryptonite, a hunch, or just a logical conclusion by you... Which upsets would you choose?

    Fighters whos careers haven't fully panned out, haven't faced certain kinds of adversity, who are still developing, etc etc.

    Examples of current "untested" (To different degrees and ways) fighters are...

    Vic Darchinyan, Cristian Mijares, Nonito Donaire.

    Eddie Chambers, Alexander Povetkin, Alexander Dimitrenko.

    Juan Manuel Lopez, Chad Dawson, Arthur Abraham, Paul Williams.

    Etc etc.

    Thoughts?

    Paul Williams and James Kirkland could surprise some of the greats...a Kirkland vs Norris fight would be awesome...Paul Williams vs anybody except Hearns and Leonard

    nonito ring smarts in very underrated...he enjoys a 5 inch height and reach advantage...how can he defend that jab of donaire at at the same time score. donito's jab is perfect for canto's mod range game..i tell you donaire is the harder puncher

    thats the worst logic i have ever heard. So in a fight if i just pump my jab out i will win as my opponent will be too busy defending my jab to attack back

    your a ****ing idiot, seriously why do you post on here if you say **** like this?

    Miguel Canto would severely school the very capable Donaire, as well as just about anybody else occupying his old weight division today. Canto was a proven, 15 round era master boxer.

    Mayweather Jr. and Jones Jr. seem to be untested by some of you.

    you didn't specify how would canto outpunch donaire? donaire is clearly the harder puncher and for canto to win rounds he must have high work rate

    boxing aint about power. Skills is more important and Canto had skills to burn.
