    And, a year or so later, Norton wasn't still on the downside of his career against Shavers?

    That quick KO was a surprise. Norton was favored going in 11-5.

    Whoever named Norton-Ali I made a good call. That or Schmeling-Louis I might just qualify as biggest non-title upsets.

    None of these are in that ballpark, but I'll throw in:
    Johansson-Machen
    Berbick-Tate
    Spinks-Mercado
    Young-Foreman (already mentioned, I think)
    Quarry-Foster
    Quarry-Lyle
    Holmes-Shavers I
    Toney-Holyfield
