    Name fighters who won as the underdog on more than one occasion:think

    I'll throw Hopkins' name out there to start. He was underdog vs Trinidad, tarver, pavlik and cloud. That's 4.

    Joe Calzaghe when he completely ruined American hero Jeff Lacy

    Fernando Quintero, Daniel Ponce De Leon, Paulie Malginaggi and Marcos Maidana when they schooled American hero Adrien Broner. Could probably add Carlos Molina to that list in a few days :good

    I'm pretty sure Giovani Segura was the betting underdog in all of these fights, perhaps spare for one of them:

    09- W TKO4 C. Canchila II
    10- W KO8 I. Calderon I
    13- W KO4 J. Gonzalez
    13- W KO12 H. Marquez

    Tony Thompson:
    W TKO2 David Price I
    W TKO5 David Price II
    W SD12 Odlanier Solis
    ...all in the last 16 months.

    I have no idea about the odds, but I'm guessing Krzystof Wlodarczyk was either the underdog or a very minuscule favorite over all of the following (I know this is true as far as any consensus I could gauge from ESB, at least):

    W SD12 Steve Cunningham I
    W TKO8 Giacobbe Fragomeni II
    W TKO11 Danny Green
    W UD12 Francisco Palacios II
    W TKO8 Rakhim Chakhkiev

    Victor Terrazas was the underdog in at least the last two listed, and I have no idea but potentially in the first as well:

    W SD12 Nehomar Cermeno
    W UD12 Fernando Montiel
    W SD12 Christian Mijares

    Jhonny Gonzalez has made a name out of scoring upsets... Once again, unaware officially of the odds but some/most of these are definitely the case, the last three listed for sure:

    05- W TKO7 Ratanachai Sor Vorapin
    06- W KO8 Marc Johnson
    06- W SD12 Fernando Montiel
    11- W TKO4 Hozumi Hasegawa
    13- W KO1 Abner Mares

    I can't of think of any at the moment tbg

    as for your post about Wlod, he was an underdog in the Cunningham and Chakhiev fights, the Green fight was about even, and in Frago II he was the favorite, because he won the first fight closely but clearly, and got a draw
