Maskaev was a pretty seasoned amateur from what I recall. I know he knocked out Vitali Klitschko in a tournament once. I would say he was far...
I 2nd this.
McCallum won a clear but close decision. Mike had all of the early rounds in the bank for sure.

I think very highly of Breidis but I can't pick against Spinks in this one. I think Spinks awkwardness plays a big part in him winning a decision...

I love Breidis but I can't pick against a prime Holyfield. Evander just simply finds a way to win and he does just that against the underrated...
Pavlik vs Hopkins was at 170 instead of 175. So was Wright vs Hopkins.
Barrera was far more popular and had the higher profile wins against Hamed and Morales but I think Chris John is criminally underated and he would...
