    1900s had Tyson Douglas, unquestionably the biggest upset in boxing and one of the biggest in all of sports. And it had Randall-Chavez, probably one of the third or fourth biggest upset ever.

    Also Simon Brown beat Terry Norris in a gargantuan upset and Vince Philips stopped Tsyu in another huge one.Throw in Holy beating Tyson for good measure and you have quite a decade for upsets. Those weren't fights where a 3-1 or 4-1 underdog bumped off a champion, this was 15-1 or 20-1 guys shocking superstars.

    Im in agreement. If you wanna go buy the odds, the 90's are gonna be hard to top.
