    Oh sure. Leon Spinks was feared as an amateur. In the amateurs, Leon was Mike Tyson before Mike Tyson. (I'm being serious. For those who don't know, he was ferocious and feared internatioanally.) But he was also 178 pounds in the amateurs. And he was only 195 when he fought Ali. Ali outweighed him by like 30 pounds. There's two pounds difference between Vitali and Chisora.

    Really, there's no apples-to-apples comparison. If Chisora won, it would be a huge upset. One of the five or six biggest. Where in that five or six it belongs (near the top or the bottom) is open. It also depends on how the fight plays out.

    If Chisora dominates and wins, or knocks him cold, that would no doubt put it higher on the list than if he won a controversial decision.

    Regardless, he's got to pull the upset first. And, like Axel Shulz found out against Foreman (and Chisora found against Helenius), the judges can mess everything up.

    We'll see. I can't wait. I just want it to be a good fight either way.

      Agreed.



      Shame it clashes with the Galahad/Eubank Jr fights.
