Truth be told, although I heavily favor PBF in this personally there are
other fights that would be MUCH bigger upsets.
Maskaev over Peter
and
McCline over Klitschko
come to mind immediately.
None of these will trump
Naito over Wonjongkam though <---------
i wouldn't really call that a major upset, i know a lot of people are sauing petter wins hands down but i am far from convinced. I don't think peter is half the fighter many make him out to be, his second win over toney was yes credit he got better, but toney got worse too.
Oleg has been miss managed for the most of his career, put into stupid fights at stupid times. I think since just prior to the last rachman fight i think he career has been handled a lot better and he has improved well. I really do expect people to see a much improved fighter in Maskaev come the peter fight, i think the topic of the next day will be "How overrated was peter?!?"
Oleg will stop him late on imo...
I'll second that!

why would that be an upset considering he is still in good shape to fight in his age. and more likely to get a belt than any other american heavyweight

regardless of your opinion of that, which I want to agree but can't see it................
Naito over Wonjongkam is still the biggest upset of the year.
Re: what do you think the next upset of the year is going to be
I think Hatton over PBF in a contraverisal SD. I can just smell Basilio v Robinson about to happen again. I can taste it.
What's the current line on this fight?

Mosley is a boxing god to most people and see Cotto as just another fighter. Come NOV 10th the world will know who Miguel Cotto is. I'm putting my money on it.
