WHich FIghter has beaten the Odds more than Most?
Which fighter has overcome being the underdog to pull out the win.
Big names who've been the underdog but pulled it off in big fights are: Hopkins, Ali, Leonard. But most fighters I think of only have a couple of those types of wins. Who has beaten the odds more than any other boxer. Name the Boxer and the fights he won when he was the underdog with bookies and media. |

Pac against Sasakul, Ledwaba, Barrera and Oscar.

Excluding Pacquiao. He's the obvious one.
Hopkins is up there. |
Re: WHich FIghter has beaten the Odds more than Most?
Froch has beaten the odds on a number of occasions in recent years, not to the standard of the big names in this category. But he has done very well as an underdog.

Froch without doubt, he was the underdog in the Taylor fight, Abraham fight and the Bute fight, the Pascal fight was 50/50 and a lot of Americans thought that Dirrell would beat him. The only fight at world level he's gone into as odds on favourite was the Johnson fight!

When the Super Six started the consensus opinion on ESB was that Ward's promoter was a damn fool. The vast majority of us felt that Andre was nowhere near ready for the competition he was about to face. Since then he has beaten Kessler, Froch, Abraham, and Dawson.
Personally, I can't stand Ward. He's exactly like 90% of the conservative christian men I've met: an arrogant, self righteous prick. However, still gotta give credit where credit is due. He has proved the masses wrong; way wrong. |

Sergio Martinez?
It's obvious HBO set-up Sergio at least 4 x's to get slaughtered & Maravilla came thru. (The company was definitely banking on the opponent to beat Sergio) Cintron Williams I Pavlik Williams II Chavez Jr. |
