    Mildenberger v Jones
    Williams v Le Doux
    Terrel v Ali
    Foley v Berbick
    Frazier v Spinks L
    Foreman v Snipes
    Wepner v Cooney
    Lyle v Cobb

    My quick picks without giving it too much thought, winner highlighted:

    Liston v Norton - any of the 3 Nortons get KO'd
    Liston v Evangelista
    Patterson v Ocasio
    Chuvalo v Weaver
    Cooper v Shavers - Whoever lands the first punch
    London v Zanon - no one wins
    Mildenberger v Jones
    Williams v Le Doux
    Terrel v Ali - The Ali that Holmes faced was a corpse
    Foley v Berbick
    Frazier v Spinks L
    Foreman v Snipes
    Wepner v Cooney
    Lyle v Cobb
    Bugner v Rodriguez
    Frazier v Witherspoon
    Coopman v Frank
    Young v Frazier M
    Dunn v Smith
    Norton v Bey
    Evangelista v Williams - I take it this is The Truth Williams
    Shavers v Spinks M - Picking the upset here
    Spinks L v Spinks M
    Spinks L v Tyson
    Holmes v Holyfield

    One of the toughest bouts to call is n't it ? I see Shavers catching Spinks at some point though.

    Chris Pountius answered it quite good , but I have a few corrections ,
    clear decision winner will be in green , legitimate stoppage winner will be in red.

    Good post. Scott Frank was the one you were unsure about.
