    Wtf?!! Poll is shit.

    You've got Pac beating Barrera and Morales beating Pac in a list of fights to be considered as possible "best win since 1985".

    How tha fuq do you omit that most sublime of emphatic victories, KTFO6?!!

    Lacy would've been classed as an ATG by now and be the pound for pound king if he would've avoided those 12 rounds with 'Zaggers.

    I'd have Lloyd Honeyghan KO of Donald Curry over a lot of these options.

    Damn it man. Read the thread. I've already explained twice.

    Morales beat prime pac only 4 pounds removed from his best weight class.

    buster over Tyson. you'd never see it happening, even Tyson didn't believe buster was a remote threat.

    The build up alone against two of the best he's in the last few yrs made it a true super fight no one gave Holyfield a shot.

    4 pounds is a big deal especially for the little guys, except for Pacquiao who is a freak of course. Great win for a faded Morales, I remember many thought he'd get the same fate as Barrera or get dropped many times like Marquez, but Erik still had one great performance left. STILL, JMM KO6 PACMAN, not only the greatest of the Mexico-Philippines rivalry, but the most memorable and most dramatic. It was beautiful how both weren't going to leave it to the judges this time, it was a high energy, electric fight. Imo, it was really more significant and I liked it better than Tyson-Douglas, which was more of an upset between a p4p fighter and an unknown, but Marquez-Pacquiao 4 was between 2 p4p fighters of the highest order, 2 little giants of the sport.

    The topic isn't biggest upset.

    It's singular win.

    Douglas win over Tyson was a pure fluke.
    And all it got him as a humiliating defeat to Evans Fields.

    His pre and post Tyson career were trash
