    Wasn't Liston/Ali I considered an upset? And Dempsey over Willard?

    Nobody knew how Ali would go on to do what he did.

    It was an upset,Sonny was an 8 to 1 favorite but I doubt it cracks the top list.
    Actually some people were fearing for Dempsey's life when he was fighting Willard.....that turned out a little different:yep

    Jones/Tarver II? Was it a upset or just shocking at the time? Not really so shocking looking back at Jones weight loss.

    What about Tyson/Holyfield I? He was basically given no chance to win.

    I consider Carnera over Sharkey a good upset.
