Do you think that Ali beat Foreman is still the biggest upset?

    From what I've seen, this place would have been filled with posts like this before the fight:

    'ALI'S GLASS JAW GONNA GET SMASHED, 100% PROVED. Down against Banks, down against Cooper, down against Frazier, he got no chin!'

    'Ali is shot!'

    'Ali has no skills. None.'

    'This fight will retire Ali, Foreman by brutal KO in the fourth :deal'

    Of recent years I'll throw this one into the mix:

    Erik Morales getting beat by Zaheer Raheem. Erik had just beat Pac, and this was a massive upset.

    Even more recently Pongsaklek Wongjonkam getting sparked by Sonny Boy Jaro has to rank highly in this kind of argument.

    Tyson Douglas was an upset at the time, Tyson was an unstoppable monster and Douglas a bum but since then its emerged Tyson was **** all really and in fact half the posters on here would ve kicked a 22 year old Tysons ass.

    Schmeling's KO against Louis was also a huge upset.

    in 1974, you couldnt find a person alive picking Ali to win.....they actually feared for his live...obviously the upset has no basis to someone who thinks klitschko vs sanders was a bigger upset

    I admitted that Douglas beat Tyson was a bigger upset than Ali beat Foreman. At that time nobody expected that to happen. NOBODY!
