Potential Scalps: Pacquiao (Matthysse) Lomachenko (Linares) Crawford (Horn) Inoue (McDonnell) Stevenson (Jack) Spence (Ocampo)
Matthysse winning means not much. Pacquiao is past it. Linares winning would be surprising. Horn winning would be surprising also given how highly rated Crawford is albeit he is the bigger man. McDonnell winning would be surprising to me. Although, I don't rate Inoue as highly as a lot of users do on here. Jack winning wouldn't surprise me given Adonis's age. Ocampo winning would be a shocker.
So would Linares, Horn, and McDonnell winning elevate them to a high spot on the P4P List given that their opponents are P4P# 1/2 (Lomachenko/Crawford) or #5-10 (Inoue/Spence)?
It depends on how the fights went but yeah i'd expect so. If they're clear victories with no controversy. The top p4p fighters would take more of a hit than the surprising winners would be elevated i think.
In the cynical world of boxing fans, it’d mean they’re all on the clock to fight a supposed boogeyman otherwise they’ll be accused of ducking/cherry picking...
