    Morrison-Bentt is up there

    You had a hw champ that just beat Foreman and was 38-1 vs someone who was 10-1 and had only beat 2 people with winning records of 5-3-6(how do you get so many draws) and 14-10.

    "Vicious" Viven Harris vs Carlos Muassa has to be up there as well. I think the odds was 25-1.

    I can't believe nobody mention Tyson vs Holyfield 1. That was a huge upset. Yes Holyfield is a legend but everybody thought Holyfield was a done fighter cause the way he fought vs Moorer, Mercer, Bowe 3 while Tyson who came out of prison was destroying people left and right. But anybody with a brain knows that the biggest upset ever was Tyson vs Dougles. Dougles was a bum fighter.

    I know it's not the biggest upset of All-Time, but I'm surprised nobody has mentioned:

    Lewis-Rahman I

    OHHH MYY! CASUAL JUST TURNED INTO CATASTROPHE!

    I know what you mean, but tbh, many people was thinking at that time that Holyfield had the tools to beat Tyson.... I remember very well when I watched that fight with my friends.... we were saying at that time that if Holy could stay on his feet after 3 rounds then he would have a good chance to beat Tyson....

    btw... do you remember the odds for that fight??????

    I don't remember the odds. My guess is almost like Tyson vs Dougles cause like i said mostly everyone thought Holyfield was a done fighter the way he fought Moorer, Mercer, Bowe 3.

    I agree about Lewis Vs Rahman 1. Rahman is almost like Dougles if you think about it in terms of class level.
