    Morales-Pacquiao 1 was amazing. Probably the greatest last hurrah of all times.
    Jones beating Toney when Toney was at the top was really good.

    Pacquiao vs David Diaz for sure, Pac moved up in weight to fight a lineal-champion, a monster puncher with uncanny speed and reflexes, not seen since Roy Jones Jr.

    I still can't believe some say he ducked Marquez by not taking the more lucrative rematch immediately, Pac is clearly more interested in defying the odds than getting big paydays, as seen in bouts vs prime Margarito and Mosley.

    Just like Douglas-Tyson. Big upset but not a big win, or at least not one of the biggest.

    Taking everything into account, It has to be this two top 20 ATG fighters in their prime, Duran coming up from Lightweight to defeat the Undefeated Welterweight champion of the world.

    Tyson/Douglas was great but that was one in a million, a prime Tyson would have walked through Douglas, he was not mental stable at the time.

    Greb-Walker is two Top10 p4pers against each other. Armstrong moving up from featherweight to beat welterweight champ Ross, who also could easily ranked in the Top10 p4p, is even bigger.

    I don't know too much about greb to be honest.

    Duran beating leonard was not only a huge upset, but a huge fight between atg opponents.

    Armstrong is a bigger atg than Duran and Ross a bigger one than Leonard. Armstrong jumped from featherweight to welterweight to lay a onesided beating on Ross. Biggest win of all time IMO.

    Walker was welterweight champion and moved up to face the middleweight champ Greb. Greb back then was blind in one eye and had over 250 fights. Greb beat Walker up. Greb has a very good case to be the greatest ever and well, Walker would go on to win the mw championship and beat up some of the best lhws and hws of his time and holding hw champ Jack Sharkey to a draw. Easily Top10 p4p.

    Another win that is above Duran-Leonard I, is Greb-Tunney I. Greb beat the sh*t out of the bigger Tunney, a lhw at the time who would go on to win the hw championship from Jack Dempsey. Tunney is at least Top20 p4p himself.

    Don´t get me wrong, I´m a huge Duran fan, I like him over all of those other fighters and his win over Leonard was big, big, big but those three were bigger.

    Is greb the guy that robinson never fought? Am I right in that?

    Yeah I heard the story about him beating a guy with one eye. Impressive.

    You mention ross, what has he done to be remembered above leonard?

    See i'm 23 so only really know stuff from 91 onwards unless I seen tape as in robinson. But some of the old old guys you have to rely on newspaper clippings to judge how good they were. Let alone how good their best victory was.

    Agreed, Douglas not just beating Tyson but KO Tyson was not just the greatest upset in boxing history - it was one of the greatest upsets in sporting history as well.

    42 to 1 underdog!
