Of all the big fights coming up I'd say this is the one most ripe for an upset.

If you ask me who is most likely to win I'd of course agree that Wladimir is, but if Brock's odds for a knockout are good I'll definitely consider putting some money on him.

He has at least 4 times as likely of beating Wlad than Baldomir is of beating Mayweather.

Consider, Mayweather has no known weaknesses, Baldomir has no real strengths. Baldomirs one asset is his size which is likey to matter about as much as Ruiz's size advantage of Jones Jr helped him.

Wlad has the skills and the size but a very weak chin and suspect stamina. He also tends not to cope well under pressure.

Brock is a big, solid heavyweight, one of the better boxers, a sound chin and a big punch.

And yet Wacko you rate Baldy's chances but dismiss Brock's, sometimes your logic baffles me :P

9 times out of 10 Baldy would get spanked by Mayweather, Brock has at least a 30% chance of sparking Wladimir
I agree that Brock may have a better chance than Baldo, cause I wouldn't be shocked if Brock caught Wlad with something big and stopped him. I would be shocked if it happened to Floyd.

But still Brock to me is just kinda solid, what does he really do well? He's not slow, but he's not fast, he's not Chris Byrd, but he doesn't hit that hard, he's a pretty good boxer but he's not that hard to hit. He needs to rough Wlad up but he's not that great on the inside and Wlad will just hold.

It could happen, I wouldn't be that shocked but I heavily favor Wlad.
