Potential fights where 75% of others disagree with your picks

An example of one of mine:

Potential fight-
Keith 'Lights Out' Thurman vs. Amir 'King' Khan

What most will pick-
Thurman by early KO

Why they would pick this-
Khan has a glass chin, and Thurman hits hard- that will be the only equation most will factor in. Khan gone from being overrated to being underrated. Due to his funny chicken dancing exploits in the past has become a laughing stock, and the bandwagon has continue to grow that he is completely garbage and on par with the likes of Victor Ortiz. Khan also lacks supporters from his own country that believe in him. Thurman meanwhile is undefeated and heavily pushed by GBP and Showtime. His supporters have grew and he is being proclaimed as the next big thing.

Actual result-
Khan by early stoppage.

Why this would happen-
Khan does indeed have a glass chin- although he looked strong in his first step up to 147 (as he did in the earlier part of his 140 campaign)....however I also strongly suspect Thurman has one too. Thurman has become overhyped much like the Ortiz's, Broner's, Berto's and Porter's before him, his skill levels are good but nowhere near good enough to match with the truly elite of the division. The Prescott fight aside Khan is a really fast starter, almost stopping Maidana and Peterson in round 1, coming out fast against the likes of Garcia, Collozo, Malignaggi and Judah. It takes Thurman can take a little longer (he stopped most guys but most have also been stopped earlier by other fighters) and looked vulnerable in round 1 against Soto Karass. I predict Khan stuns him early then takes advantage of the finishing opportunity, sending Thurman hurtling toward the canvas a couple prompting the ref to call it off with The Thurminator struggling to get his legs back under him.


You get the picture. Now let's hear some of yours.

**PLEASE NOTE- if Floyd Mayweather fought Manny Pacquiao neither would be favored by at least 75% of boxing fans either way so leave that debate in the other threads**

 

I doubt 75% would disagree with the winners but probably the early KO's they would if that's what you're saying.

 

You get the idea. Brave choices, I know I certainly wouldn't be picking those results. :good

 

Khan is a pretty good one to pick because people really only ever base that he'd lose on his glass chin, and of glass chinned fighters he may be one of the best currently.

I'm not sure what % would think Bradley would beat Khan but I've always thought Khan wins it.

 

Obvisouly most would pick Mayweather to beat Bradley.

Bradley would be favored against Khan though (if you did a poll on here you'd probably find the majority pick Bradley to KO Khan too).

 

So what fights do you have to contribute to this thread?

Mayweather brutally KOing Sergey Kovalev?

Danny Garcia beating Carl Froch?

Zou Shiming beating Manny Pacquiao?
