    If these two matches happened to be signed, who would have the better chance at scoring the upset?

    Adamek over Wilder?

    ~or~

    Pac over Canelo?

    I don't think Pac winning would be an upset, I'd expect it. So definitely Adamek.

    You would favor Pac over Canelo at 155? Really?

    Yep, I think Margarito rehydrated to something like 175 when he fought Manny, and he wasn't much of a problem, granted Canelo is far more skilled, Pacquiao would come in under the CW like Cotto did, and do a number on Canelo.

    Well Pacquiao would win close on points and Adamek via BRUTAL KO.

    :think

    Szpilka's mandible >>> Wilder's

    Could Nichols and Wilder deck Szpilka? :lol::lol:

    Wilder has no chin. NONE

    Probably, a stiff wind could drop Szpilka

    Adamek is shot, and Canelo is very beatable.. Clearly Pac.

    Where were the hard hitting journeymen like Mollo early on in Wilders career?

    Like said here before, I don't see Pac beating Canelo much as an upset.

    Yeah says a lot....:lol:

    I'd be very surprised if they put him in with Szpilka, sure it's a fight he can win but it's also one he could lose. High risk low reward. Don't see it happening.
