    They just got him out of the morgue and revived him by electric shock for this bout.

    I don't remeber the odds but wasn't Katsidis a favorite over Casamayor?I might be mistaken.

    He was a hairdresser in his former life. No to all of the above.

    As far as I know he was a giant tin can. Skulli was the one with amateur pedigree so he had everything to lose.

    Good list except I'd rate Foreman/Moorer higher than Tarver/RJJ.

    Don't know about the numbers but might have well of been. It was more or less a showcase for the young fighter.

    Tyson/Douglas
    Ali/Foreman
    Moore/Foreman

    My top 3. All else is damn close.

    Holyfield/Tyson I is one of my favorites to watch. Before beating Bobby Czyz a gassed Holyfield had been TKO'd by Bowe. A few fights before he was beat by Moore and there was much controversy around that time because it was discovered he had a whole in his heart. The first few rounds were close but Holyfield was dominating by halfway point. It was all Holy down the stretch.

    we all know the obvious, but the most personal good upset for me was:


    hopkins-trinidad: both were prime & my man b-hop was a 3-1 underdogg. he bet 100k on himself to win, lol. from all the drama before the fight (throwing PR flag on the ground) b-hop made the fight personal and the victory couldnt have been any sweeter.

    usa baby!!!!!!
