    What are some of your somewhat realistic upset picks in fantasy fights.
    Some of mine are:
    -Barkley W KO Prime Jones at 160lbs (potentially 168lbs aswell)
    - Eubank Sr W UD Toney
    - Quarry W KO Morrison
    - Cotto W TKO Benitez
    - Bradley W UD Mayweather

    I don’t think Quarry beating Morrison is an upset.

    Barkley stopping Jones doesn't really strike me as realistic..

    The odds wouldn't show that, but I see your point.

    I also said somewhat realistic in the thread box. It's not totally out of the blue. I mean, who would have thought Barkley would beat Tommy Hearns x2. Barkley had the power, pressure & workrate to give Roy a lot of problems & we know like Tommy, Roy didn't have the best chin. Barkley was also faster & a better boxer at 160lbs than he was at 168lbs.

    It's not impossible either. Bigger upsets have happened.

    In their primes, Evander Holyfield defeating Muhammad Ali, and/or Joe Louis.

    Very realistic - even though I'd favour both of them to beat him.

    Jones wasn’t anywhere near his prime at 160. Anyway Barkley certainly had the power. Mayweather would be a shock. The others wouldn’t be that surprising.
