Match-ups in which perceived better fighter would lose (same old shit)

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.

 

Great thread. I'm going to rate it right now and give it 5 stars!!

 

Mythical or Current?

 

Mamadou Thiam vs Shane Mosley

 

:giggle:

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.

 

Mayorga vs Forrest
Barkley vs Hearns

 

Vitali vs Wlad.

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