    Buster Douglas win over Tyson shook the world. I don't think there's been anything to rival that win in recent years. Any others?

    Canelo can be knocked out in the first round and still win a decision.

    For HW's:
    Louis vs. Schmeling I & II
    Jeffries over Johnson
    Buster over Tyson
    Frazier over Ali
    Ali over Foreman
    ...some of the biggest wins there.

    Bit late on this one but it would be a combination of the above. Duran v Leonard 1. Turpin v SRR. Douglas v Tyson.

    I'd say Ali KO8 Foreman, but circumstances played a big part, as the buildup highly influenced the outcome.
    On the other hand, that counts for many other fights, like the above mentioned Douglas KO10 Tyson.

    So, Ali KO8 Foreman it is for me.

    Sub-Bantam weightclasses are just as weak as HW.
