    Tyson-Berbick - 20 yrs old, 20 months a pro, pressure of a world title fight and blew away a tough veteran. Holyfield-Qawi 1, 12th pro fight and he prevailed in a 15 round gut check against a near ATG. Frazier-Bonavena 1, less than two years a pro, teak tough opponent and in real peril of being stopped, Joe bit down and gutted out the victory. Mental and physical strength beyond his years.

    Some of Joe Louis' early, pre-title wins. He had no right to make more experienced men look that bad at that stage of his career like Baer or Sharkey.

    Wilfredo Gomez had a brilliant showing against Alberto Davila at just 12-0-1.

    Eddie Machen’s win over top contender Nino Valdez was brilliant considering he was only 12-0 at the time.

    Benitez v Cervantes.

    Cervantes an ATG, probably top ten at the weight which, while relatively new, has always been very deep.
    Benitez was 17, for Goodness sake.

    Allegedly. It's a real coup. Never to be repeated.
