    Name match-ups in which conventional wisdom would fail to predict the correct winner.

    For example, in my opinion, Chavez Jr.'s size and newly found work-rate would enable him to beat Cotto, even though most think that's crazy.

    How about Green/Ward. Of course, then it'd only be fair to mention Gonzalez/RJJ as well.

    I had current in mind, but mythical would be interesting too.

    Vitali vs Wlad.

    Wlad the better fighter by perception but he'd lose, IMO
