    Hatto beating Pacquiao wouldnt be that surprising considering he is the bigger man, i feel he will lose, but he has more of a chance than most give him.

    I expect Clottey to beat Cotto, so that would be no surprise at all.

    Haye beating Wlad would be pretty shocking, but considering there both pretty chinny, Haye's chances are slightly above abysmal.

    If Jermain Taylor announced his retirement, i would be pretty shocked, but really, he got beaten up pretty badly last week. A beating like that would make anyone reconsider their career path.

    Berto's chin has never really been tested, and though i think he's pretty sturdy and Urangos' smaller than him, he's still a banger. A KO win for Urango would be an upset, but not really shocking.

    The last time Dawson and Tarver fought, it was a near shut out for Dawson. He is better than Tarver in all apsects. For Tarver to do anything but lose the next time they fight would be an incredible upset in my eyes.

    Tarver beating Dawson would be the biggest upset of them all IMO.

    I wouldn't be shocked that if Taylor retired. He contemplated it after the Pavlik II fight, remember "I'm just gonna take my ass home and do some fishing for a long while" from the presser?

    Out of those... Tarver beating Dawson.. and it looks like most agree with me. It's just hard to imagine Tarver's shop worn ass beating a young and lively opponent in Dawson. It's just not gonna happen.

    I struggled between the last 2 choices. Either would be jaw dropping. I picked Berto-Urango because Urango is moving up in weight.

    Marquez Beating Mayweather

    I voted Tarver because I wanted to be with the "in" crowd but actually none of those are all that unlikely.

    Urango beating Berto would give me a heart attack.. Not because Berto is that great or anything but because I think Urango is just a tough journeyman material..
