Was Al MCCoy beating George Chip arguably the greatest upset of all time?

    I think a case can be made that it was.

    I guess arguably. McCoy was pretty awful, one of the worst champs in history, but while Chip is probably underrated today he was still beatable. I still think Douglas-Tyson takes the cake.

    Its not just the fact that McCoy won but how he won.

    That must have raised a few eyebrows.

    It did, it was pretty devastating in more ways than one. It had long lasting negative repercussions in the division for years.
