    This wouldnt be much of an upset to me because Brock has the power to hurt Klitchko and although Wladimir is maybe coming out of his brothers shadow he still has a suspect chin which Brewster, Sanders etc have already tested, so I think Brock will start the underdog but could easily beat Wladimir

      Geez. Be picky about the title some more. I think he is trying to ask if you think Brock will beat Wlad. That is fairly obvious.

        Any fight has a chance to go either way. This is the only sport where one play/punch can end things. Brock has the power to do it.

        But on the other had, Wlad is the clear champion and the best boxer at HW at this time. The list of guys that can beat Wlad is short, regardless of his ability to take a punch.

          Newsflash: an upset is always possible. If there were guaranteed winners, why watch the match?

            I'm with Diego. I voted 'yes' but I think Wlad wins; any poll asking CAN a fighter win is pointless, because an upset is always possible. Wlad has been upset three times.

              If that's what he meant, then we should re-do the poll, because right now a majority are answering 'yes' and I doubt they all expect Brock to win.

                  Yeah, he has the potential to upset Wlad. I don't think it's likely, but it's certainly more likely than Barrett upsetting Valuev.

                    he does have a chance. but rushing in like a kamikazee pilot will be suicide. the only guy to really hurt him early and take him out early was hard hitting southpaw corrie sanders. the other 2 guys took his shots weathered the storm and went after him when he tired. this is brocks same chance. he has to show toughness and hope wlad wears out,,then he should let it all hang out. the chances are low but it is a chance
