    Not a subjective thread, not asking. This is the list of biggest upsets, per the bookmaker odds.

    Crazy that Horn over Pac is all the way down at #25.

    Also that Wangek remained a +375 underdog even in the rematch with González.

    Srisaket, a former champ in the first match with Roman being top 5. And Zou Shiming shouldn't probably be that big of a favorite over anyone with a winning record.

    Funny how Aleem shocked Khytrov. And then in his very next fight (which surely he was the favourite in) got Ko'd himself.

    rematch Kovalev-Ward , of course assumed (or even expected) the defeat of Kovalev, but not exactly how it happened.

    Shafikov got robbed as usual. Thanks to a BS knockdown.

    FYI: while it currently is too late for this list to be topped by any of 2017's remaining bouts, Nguyen vs. Flores still could see its #2 spot usurped this weekend. Punts on Yoan Boyeaux are set to pay $22 on the dollar in the unlikely event he upsets Naoya Inoue on Saturday. :thumbsup:

    The first smattering of potential "big upsets" slated for the first quarter of the new year are, in descending value order (and restricted to fights that are currently signed/official):

    1) Lamont Peterson (bookmakers put him at 23/2 vs. Errol Spence, Jr.)
    2) Sergey Rabchenko (10/1 vs. Kell Brook) **
    3) Joseph Parker (9/1 vs. Anthony Joshua)
    4) Mairis Briedis (11/2 vs. Oleksandr Usyk)
    5) Nonito Donaire (5/1 vs. Carl Frampton) ++


    ** if the rumored near-finalized April opponent that Bob Arum has set up for Jeff Horn does indeed wind up being Terence Crawford, as expected all along, and not a ringer like Anthony Mundine or some other random names that have been floated, then Horn will open a 10/1 underdog against Crawford.

    ++ Jürgen Brähmer would also be tied for this spot, as he is set to be a 5/1 underdog against Callum Smith when the ink dries on their WSBB semifinal meeting (and that is a when, not an if, barring injury on either side)
