Biggest upset out of these:

Brewster vs Wlad, by far. Why would you vote Manny/ODLH. ODLH was 147 (Didn't fight at that weight class in 10 years), and was shot to ****.

 

Tarver stopping Jones and it's not even close.

 

:deal

 

Baldomir UD12 Zab

Tarver fought equal to Roy in their first fight. The KO is a shock. The result was not as much. Only those who felt Roy was amongst the GOAT would find this truly shocking. Tarver was proven world class.

Khan was an unproven prospect. Was not a top 10 guy. Can't count it among these others. It's dramatic especially looking back. At the time, a prospect beating the supposed better prospect.

Pac was among the best P4P in the world and his speed/power showed minimal signs of slowing. Oscar was 7 years removed from ever lacing up at welterweight in addition to already being semi-retired in the Floyd loss a whole 18 months earlier. I know most on here thought Oscar would win. I was not among them. To have favored Oscar was to have not properly credited Pac at the time.

Wladimir was not long removed from the Sanders beatdown. And while he should have beaten Brewster for sure, a recently destroyed fighter in the HW division is never by any means a safe bet. Far from it.

It has got to be Baldomir over Judah. Judah was widely considering one of the best fighters and one of the most skillful fighters out there. While Baldomir was on a killer winning streak, none were opposition which would at the time make us think that Baldomir was anything more than a low KO% iron chinned elite-for-Argentine-standards guy brought in to lose. Talks of Judah under training and being out of shape mostly came afterward, and in the end, are just talk.

 

Hmm. I think it depends on who you are a big fan boy of. That at least has influence. I like Wladimir, and I was shocked as hell when he lost to Brewster. Tarver stopping Jones in 2 was pretty surreal. "Got any excuses tonight Roy?"

 

my thoughts

 

didnt Steward or somebody like that see Baldomir skipping rope in the gym, someone told him that was the guy fighting Judah and he was completely stunned and never heard of the guy or thought he had any shot

 

That type of chorus didn't echo before the fight happened (except Roach of course and many *******s who hoped Pac wins).

I'll even bet you didn't imagined that fight to be like that

 

Baldomir vs Judah for me. Baldomir was no hoper. Nobody knew who he was.

 

:deal

The way Tarver went about it and basically swept Jones away, brutal.

I thought it was an off night for Roy in the first fight, never would or could envision what went on in the rematch.

 

I voted tarver jones, because jones got beat clearly. some say jones is the most athletic best boxer ever. the arguably best boxer ever being being, that was the biggest upset in my eyes.
