    Golota getting tko'd in 53 seconds by Brewster, Golota was actually favored to win

    Khan getting knocked out by Breidis Prescott in the first round.

    Bobick getting ko'd in 58 seconds by Ken Norton, in a highly anticipated fight.

    what are some others?

    Great example. I think quite highly of Hill as a boxer but never thought he would KO a guy like Tiozzo.

    Nate Campbell getting KO by Robbie Peden comes to mind. At that time, Campbell was crushing everyone and most though he would destroy Peden. Then he dropped his hands and dared Peden to hit him. Big mistake!

    Tommy Morrison vs Michael Bentt.

    (As an actor, Bentt is best known for co-starring as Sonny Liston in the 2001 film Ali, and as Biggis/El Plaga in the 2005 film State Property 2.)

    James Kirkland getting stopped in a round by featherfisted Nobuhiro Ishida who was supposed to be there as a sacrificial lamb for Kirkland. Even more embarrassing was that they didn’t even have a Japanese translator in case Ishida won.

    How about Holyfield vs Toney???


    "This was just a hero being brutally outclassed and outpunched."

    ''I'm sorry I had to do that to him,'' Toney said. ''He's a great fighter, and I have a lot of respect for him.''

    That fight was kinda weird because Evander started off really well against Toney, and then just got picked apart.

    Someone said Morrison Bentt that was bad. Tommy lost 8 million to fight Lewis for that.

    Lacey Calzaghe was bad - Lacey was hyped to no end
