    Which fight in history makes you go WOW WTF happened there?

    here are a couple of mine:

    1. Randy Turpin v SRR 1951
    Turpin kicked SRR ass that night Robinson i think had been beaten ONCE!

    2. Cassius Clay v Sonny Liston 1964
    Clay KO'd the mike Tyson of the day and a man who was considered the then baddest man on the planet

    3. Frankie Randall v Julio Cesar Chavez 1994
    Yes Chavez got a gift draw v Whitaker but he was unbeaten in 90 here!

    I have a few more but what are your top upsets guys?

    Douglas-Tyson is considered the biggest upset in boxing history, and with good reason.

    what about

    Bernard Hopkins v Tito Trinidad
    Not a massive shock by all means but i'm sure Tito was an overwhelming favourite who had recently KO'd Vargas and Joppy and was a champ in three weight classes not to mention UNBEATEN.....apart from oscar fight:hey

    Deffo an upset although Ali was past it!

    A better upset may be MICHAEL Spinks v Larry Holmes
    What a spoilsport Spinks was eh?
