What are some big upsets in history, that happened either before you were born or before you were a boxing fan, that you think you would've called correctly had you been a viewer of boxing in that time? For example, I was not yet born when the Rumble In The Jungle happened, but I think had I been a boxing fan in that time, I would've picked Ali to beat or at least trouble Foreman. Ali had already shown that he was durable And Still quick with his hands and feet. I think I would've believed that Foreman was too wide swinging and slow to connect with Ali as frequently as Frazier and Norton were able to, and that Ali would win a decision.
Bowe/Holyfield 1. Bowe was a 7/5 underdog going into the fight. A minor underdog, but nonetheless, I can't see why he was an under-dog anyway. He had size, strength & power on his side - plus Holyfield had a shaky reign as champion at the time.
I am going to say that I would have predicted a young Cassius Clay to beat Charles "Sonny" Liston...and because he had done the impossible once...I would have predicted Ali to beat Foreman...so I would have been correct twice! However, I would then have made the terrible blunder of believing that Ali could do the impossible a third time and predicted him defeating Holmes!
All of them. But seriously, probably FOTC. My love for Frazier, belief that his non-stop left hooking style is awful for Ali, and having to Watch the Bonavena fight in real time, would probably mean I pick Frazier.
I predicted Fury beating Wlad & Rigondeaux besting Donaire. Not sure they were that historic though. Anything else is pure speculation
Not sure what the odds were but I predicted Froch / Groves 2 down to the round, don't usually make predictions but had a feeling. Might not be the most impressive but I was quite happy with it aha.
