    Some great picks guys.

    How about Hagler-Hearns? (think Hagler was a slight underdog going in)

    Toney was a big underdog against Iran Barkley and that was a masterpiece clinic by Toney.

    Really??

    That surprises me with Toney being an undefeated fighter and Barkley's many wars and somewhat crude style.

    He sure dominated Barkley though.As thorough a beating as there's been in the last 20 years.

    It seems weird now, I think because partly we've seen Toney move up to heavyweight and still never be stopped. But Barkley was a guy then who'd knocked out Hearns, then just the year before Toney he had beaten Hearns again, this time by decision and taken his light heavyweight title AND taken Van Horn's Super Middleweight title and Toney was stepping up in weight. It seemed to a lot of people that Barkley would be too strong for him. In hindsight though... :rofl.

    I read a great column the day of the fight that began; "The fight is scheduled to begin at 10:55. Hearns fans expect Leonard to hit the canvas at 10:57...." :thumbsup

    Haha, yeah suprised no one saw Toney- Barkley coming, that's a good one.

    And I didn't know RJJ was an underdog vs Toney, always thought that was a pick 'em.
