    Toney-Barkley seems the best fit.

    Forgot about that one! Good pick :good Really odd to imagine still, despite the condition Holyfield was in.

    for me ichida-kirkland is the winner. the other fights mentioned where surprising or unexpected but not as shocking as what i saw in that fight. to come out and kd kirland 3 times in the first round in what was supposed to be an exhibition fight for kirkland was something else.

    First name that jumps to mind is Hopkins because he's done it quite a few times. He's a 4/1 underdog against Dawson.

    I believe the betting line was fairly close... A pick'em fight!

    Mosley-Margarito comes to mind... Tony was a 4-1 favorite and Shane won every round and Knocked him out!

    Tyson was favored against Spinks, and Sanchez was a slight favorite or pick 'em in the rematch. The first Sanchez-Lopez fight is a good shout.

    Dwight Braxton (Qawi) vs Matthew Saad Muhammad 1
    Vince Phillips vs Kostya Tszyu

    Martinez Vs. Williams, not only did Martinez knock Williams out in the second round, Martinez had to fight Williams' judges, ref, commentators, you name it. Martinez was robbed in their first fight so he took no more chances to get robbed once again!!! The judges always give Williams the decision, always...............
