The Perfect foil

Name a guy and the next poster give the perfect opponet to pull an upset over them and why.

Not napoles/Leonard. Definitely someone who would be a significant underdog.

Ex: Thomas Hearns/Simon Brown.

Start with

Alexis Arguello at 130

Manuel Medina- Fast, never stood still, very good chin.

Now I name someone for the next guy right?

Marvin Hagler

Mickey Walker. Providing he can turn into a toe to toe war.

Roberto Duran at LW

I thought we were doing significant underdogs? I really don't think Walker fits that bill against Hagler.

Sorry, I didn't notice the word UPSET. Now I gotta fixate.

Ok, still a big longshot, but I'm gonna say Ken Overlin. Slick boxer, good chin, lot's of experience.

Ah thats better! Great pick.

Roberto Duran at LW

Tough one...Hector Camacho maybe. At his best he was awesome. Southpaw with some of the fastest hands the division had ever seen. Fantastic movement, great chin and knew how to survive.

Sorry for going again so soon but I love this topic.

Salvador Sanchez

That is a youghone.

I am going to say Rocky Lockridge. He had a nice pressure style that wasn't wild. He almost beat Pedroza, who I always thought would give Sal hell.

Billy Conn

Markl beat me to the punch, but I was going to say, Bernard Taylor, a southpaw with blinding handspeed could possibly upset Sanchez, if he stays religiously on the outside.

Someone else can answer Conn, as I don't have anyone at the moment.

Iran Barkley

I can see his wild unpredictable style giving Conn fits.

Thomas Hearns 147.

Marlon Starling. Great chin, good counterpuncher with decent power. I think he'd make it interesting in the late rounds.

Carlos Monzon

nvm, cant think of any under-dog type of opponent beating Monzon
