    All but Ortiz Tua Sanders and Tucker.

    Call Spoon a Toss up but I would slightly favor Max.

    Loses to the rest

    Lewis
    Bowe
    Both Klitschko's
    Are a lock for me.
    Witherspoon that showed up against Holmes but that's just wishful thinking.
    That's it. No one else shows me they could beat Max.
