5. Danny Williams beats Mike Tyson 4. Glen Johnson beats Roy Jones Jr. 3. Corrie Sanders beats Wladimir Klitschko 2. Bernard Hopkins beats Felix Trinidad 1. Hasim Rahman beats Lennox Lewis http://sports.yahoo.com/box/blog/bo...t=AkConeTHV1Tsdlnt57Hn2w2UxLYF?urn=box,204972 Donaire KO Darchinyan and Pacquiao TKO Barrera are also big upsets
yep Tito was coming off an impressive KO over william joppy and he was favor to beat b-hop in that fight.
I only consider 1 and 3 as upsets there. Tyson and Jones were well past it, and I picked Hops to beat Tito anyway.
Surely there have been bigger upsets than the ones mentioned on that list. Tyson/Wiliams was a poxy matchup, and everyone knew how shot Mike was. Similar with Jones/Johnson, with Roy suffering from an awful run of form. As for Hopkins/Trinidad, was Hopkins that much of a non favourite to come 2nd on the list of this decades greatest upsets? Pac/Barrera should be on that list, straight at number 2. I would put Tarver's win over Roy in there in place of Johnson's. Surely there are a couple more...?
Won't disrespect you, must be very young.................. Tito was 40-0, winning titles in 3 weight divisions, blasting fools, almost Pac like.......... At the time Bernard was only seen as "fodder" for Tito's superbout with Roy Jones looming...........As we know, BHOP had plans of his own:yep Tito was like a 2 1/2 to 3 to 1 favorite..........
yea im surprise pac-barrera 1 didn't make the top 5. Pac was basicaly unknown before he fought barrera.
1. Manny Pacquiao vs Oscar De La Hoya 2. Hasim Rahman vs Lennox Lewis 3. Glenn Johnson vs Roy Jones Jr 4. Manny Pacquiao vs Marco Antonio Barrera 5. Bernard Hopkins vs Kelly Pavlik or Antonio Tarver
Look at the odds for the fights my friend, I picked Hopkins in both fights mind you. He was a 4-1 underdog against Kelly Pavlik, and he didn't beat him, he schooled him, shut him completely down.
yea considering bhop was already over 40 and kelly pavlik was coming off 2 wins over taylor who beat b-hop twice. This is a big upset.
Hopkins is the upset king of the decade, and looking back on the SSM vs Margo fight nearly no one expected the TKO for sugar shane.
Guys! What about Forrest beating Mosley (then p4p king) a 7-1 underdog, and then losing twice to Mayorga, one of the times on UD!!!
Mayorga vs Forrest I Darchinyan vs Mijares Prescott vs Khan Quintana vs Williams not saying they're top 5, but big upsets all the same.
