    Three instantly spring to mind...

    Lewis v Rahman
    Honeyghan v Curry
    Khan v Prescott (China chin or not that was a massive upset)

    They are all pretty high profile any domestic bust-ups or lesser fights that were considered mammoth upsets?

    SRR-Turpin
    Benn-Gman

    Fitzsimmons-Corbett?
    Buchanan-Laguna?

    No idea if the last two were massive upsets tbh

    Benn was a big favourite over Watson

    Enzo Macc against Ola Aflobai

    Aflobai was considered a sparring partner with a low KO ratio

    He was 9/1 against the win - which is big odds in a two horse race

    IMHO the 2 stand outs are Turpin-SRR and Honeyghan-Curry.

    Turpin over Ray Robinson is still the greatest.

    Wasn't he around 20/1? I seem to remember him being the same odds as Buster Douglas was that night against Tyson?

    The way Hatton got took out off Pacquiao in 2 was a shocker as well.

    Lewis Rahman and Khan Prescott - NO
    Honeyghan Curry - Very much so. Except Honeyghan was really good.
