    Does the iron chinned, murderous punching Cuevas overcome the odds and defeat the murderous punching but flawed Johnson ?

    Why not serious ? Johnson was only 28 pounds heavier ? Cuevas in his prime, prior to Hearns, was a steel chinned, murderous punching warrior ... Johnson was game but often ran out of gas and was stopped by Saad, Mustafa, Spinks and others ?

    Only 28 pounds heavier! How about Carlos Zarate against Cuevas, only 29 pounds between them.

    Wonder what odds you'd get on that. Would be worth a dollar, you could become an overnight millionaire if Carbajal pulled it off.:lol:.
