    I think Browne should be the favorite, so it wouldn't be an upset to me.

    Parker style wise has the potential to pose AJ a lot of problems, a man who nearly gets KTFO every time he steps up shouldn't be considered such an odds on favorite to win this one. This fight should be seen as 55-45.

    Ortiz is made for Wilder, it should be easy work for Deontay if he stays disciplined, which for him is easier said than done.

    If David sells out and comes out like a straight right battering ram, he can pull it off, but he's probably too stupid to try that, wich is sad, because its the only chance he has at a win.

    Ortiz, expecting a slight upset with the Cuban winning.
    Parker, gets nailed late on or loses decision, no upset.
    Browne, possible because Whyte isn't all that, but still Whyte UD.
    Price, only leaves poster @Price is back very upset.

    There can't really be an upset between Browne and Whyte as they are two quality operators at around the same level, however you'd be wise to bet on a Lucas win.

    Wilder Ortiz, I don't see an upset happening. Ortiz is too slow and old to stay out of the way of Wilder's power.

    Povetkin vs Price, anything can happen in that fight, but again I can't vision an upset occurring since Povetkin's chin is unquestionable and all he has to do is wear Price down, take him into round 6 and he is done.

    I don't know why you haven't got Haye vs Bellew in your op, as I think Bellew will pull off another upset.

    As for Parker vs Joshua. Well Parker has every chance and possibility in shocking the world, providing he doesn't lose his nerve in there. He only needs to stick devotely to the gameplan Kevin Barry has laid out for him and fight to his full capabilities and you are seeing the new Heavyweight champion of the world.

    I consider Ortiz the favourite and he will KO Wilder early.

    Joshua will beat Parker by late KO or UD, very small chance of an upset.

    Price has a punchers chance at best.

    Browne/Whyte is 50/50.

    Concerning all of the fights except Povetkin/Price would
    any really be considered an upset?

    AJ/Parker is 50/50 (small advantage to AJ)
    Whyte/Brown I'd say 50/50 (small advantage to Brown)
    also throwing in Wilder/Ortiz 50/50 (small advantage to Wilder)

    Only Price somehow beating Povetkin would really
    be a significant upset. Everything else concerning the
    other fights are pretty much equal considering skillsets, ranks,
    talent level etc....

    Browne Whyte hasnt a favourite, so no upset exists there.

    Ortiz most likely to cause the upset.

    Price win to be the biggest upset of the potential upsets.

    Eddie Hearn to be most upset if the upset in U.S transpires.

    Well the first fight delivered Wilder walked through the fire for the win.
