    Looks pretty good to me. The most competitive one would be Bugner/Chuvalo.

    Liston (2) TKO6 Wepner
    Lyle KO8 Patterson
    Bugner W12 Chuvalo
    Frazier KO3 Cooper
    London KO6 Coopman
    Young W12 Mildenberger
    Williams KO2 Dunn
    Norton W12 Terrell
    Shavers KO4 Folley

    Although it's 7-2 to the 70s mob on the surface, Patterson, Chuvalo and Terrell have a decent shout in those match-ups.
