    What are some of your unpopular picks in fantasy matchups?
    For example some of mine
    Lennox Lewis 12rd UD Muhammad Ali
    Chris Byrd 12rd UD Larry Holmes
    Amir Khan 12rd UD Pernell Whittaker
    Dwight Muhammad Qawi late stoppage over Bob Foster
    Ike Ibeabuchi late stoppage over Mike Tyson
    Also if you disagree with some of these feel free to ask me why I come to that conclusion
    Mainly what are some of your fantasy matchup upset/unpopular picks

    I actually see amir khan winning wide for a few reasons, Amir Khan is quite a bit taller than Whittaker, and the way to beat prime Khan is to time him with a home run shot and Whittaker didn’t have that, I don’t see Whittaker’s head movement serving him well because of Khan’s speed, he would just be too fast for that to work, and if Whittaker boxes at range and tries to pick his punches, I see Khan beating him to the punch with his straight punches from range and when Whittaker tries his head movement he just gets hit all the more, because he wouldn’t have time to see the punches coming and avoid them and Whittaker doesn’t come forward, I just don’t see any way he wins, also if he boxes from range and sticks and moves, I just see Khan’s speed being too much, I don’t see Whittaker outboxing him because of the speed, bad style matchup for him, Whittaker is the far greater fighter though

    You make some good points.
    I see Whittaker being comfortable fighting and outclassing Khan on the inside if his jab isn't working (can't remember it failing in his prime tbh).

    Fantasy Fight
    1979-1981MIKE Weaver KO 10 Mike Tyson. If the durable Weaver shows up, and he put on a concentrated body attack like against Coetzee after surviving Mikes initial burst, then he wins by 7 or 8 round KO. A body punch knockout.
