    Khan . He was badly out boxing Garcia before he got caught

    Untrue, revisionist history.

    The same way people say Ortiz was boxing Lopez's ears off before his jaw literally shattered.

    I did have Khan up 20-18 entering round 3 (and taking most of that one before the KD) but he was hardly dominating Garcia or anything.

    I had Lopez slightly in front when he smashed Ortiz's face.

    People get carried away with this "So and so came from behind with a lucky punch and would lose a rematch" logic.

    id say khan he was hitting danny with everything in that first fight and i still havent seen anything of garcia that makes me think wow - hes decent - but if khan fights smart (i know when will that ever happen) Garcia should be a fairly easy night for him all the physical tools are nearly all in Khans favour....its that a fight that should happen should Khan beat someone half decent in his next bout

    Definately Dawson, he was caught early & never really got going.. I think Dawson would come into the rematch fully focused.

    Khan can get the job done, but it wont be easy.. the beating he took in the first fight is gonna be hard to get over, he's gonna have to run and hold & make it messy.

    Donaire got schooled against Rigo & whoever said Donaire hurt Rigo when he got the knockdown needs their eyes testing, Rigo was off balance & got up & continued where he left off.

    Bute will have to look sensational against Pascal for him to have any sort of a chance.

    Over 12 there is no way Khan avoids Garcia's hooks long enough for his edge in talent and skill to not be rendered moot.

    He is just too dumb. He will eventually get hit.

    Interesting poll. I'd say Khan and Dawson have the tools and skills to beat Garcia and Stevenson but their lack of ring intelligence/mental strength always means they could be caught at any time.

    Kahn, but I wouldn't put money on it.

    Donaire to his credit didn't get stopped (distinguishing him from Khan, Dawson and Bute) - yet his might have been the furthest plummet from grace considering how strongly most favored him over Rigondeaux.

    A few diehards and of course the small but vociferous Cuban fan base were calling for a Rigondeaux clinic, but I'd say 70-80% of the board and indeed the macrocosm of all boxing punditry had Donaire putting him to sleep...and early, according to some of the most ****sure soothsayers! :shock: :oops:

    Donaire has the best chance of getting a lucky KO in a rematch too.

    Dawson and Khan lack one punch knock out power and while Bute has decent power it's pretty irrelevant against Froch- he walks through monster shots like they miss.

    The basis for picking was an upset. Being that Khan was the betting favourite and won, that was left off the list
