Not counting Tyson-Douglas, what do you see as boxing biggest ever upset?

Talking of Junior; Johnson/Jones was bigger still.

 

The odds thing is a deceiving thing to use however. Back then & up through Tyson coming up, you couldn't get 10-1 odds. It was off the books so that meant 6 to 1 and 8 to 1 was as big as it got. Ali was never that big over Quarry or guys like Mac Foster even.

Ali was like 7-1 over a guy like Evangelista. using the way odds went a decade later, that should have been a 25-1 or more. Because not 1 out of 8 people were picking Evangelista. You couldn't find anyone.

 

Toney-Tiberi...

 

I always liked the KO headline 'Middleweight terrorism; Iran bombs the Hitman'.

But in someways the rematch was a bigger shocker. Although I did not pick it, I guess I knew there was a chance with them legs creaking, Tommy might get caught; I just could not see Hearns losing a decision to Barkley, that was just ridiculous, but it rightly happened!

 

Rahman knocking out Lewis was huge.

 

Lovely headline! :good

 

:heyJulio cesar chavez losing to Wilie Wise..

 

:verysad

 

Honeyghan losing to Jorge Vaca...

 

Although not on his game that night, Honeyghan would have kept the title were it not for the stupid rule that saw him lose a point for not being cut in an accidental clash of heads.

The irony being this fight was meant to be the centrepiece of the WBC's conference that year in London.
