    Name the best upsets in boxing history for you and why you picked them, for example Nunn- Little for the WBA SMW-title...

    Mormeck vs. Braithwaite - not sure what the odds are but When I used to post at Boxing Insider - nobody picked Mormeck. I mean nobody. I picked him because I prefered his style. Victory was sweet.

    Hatton vs. Tszyu - Electric crowd....Exciting fighter, I had a gut feeling.

    I had a strong feeling that Tyson would lose to Douglas, and it definitely caused some strong repercussions. Had a feeling it was Iron Mike's time to lose.

    It has to be Norris-Leonard. There's no debating this. A man, crushed in his first attempt at a title now taking on the biggest name in the sport, winning every round, even toying with him, leaving no question as to his superiority and there was nothing Ray could do about it. This time, he was completely smashed, completely humbled.

    It was good for the sport because the last of the undesirables had finally been flushed out from the sport. I was surprised he'd come back again even after six years. But my man Hector put an end to that dream in another of my favorite upsets.

    James Toney knocking out Michael Nunn was a big upset.

    Haseem Rahman knocking out Lennox Lewis was a massive upset.
