    Not really an upset, since it was a robbery.

    No.

    Lewis VS. Holyfield. Clear robbery for a giant rematch. I knew right then boxing is a corrupt pile of **** at times. We the suckers!

    But this is not a good decision, IMO. And unfortunately I don't think Pac would get revenge against Bradley like Lewis did. Because, I'd pick Bradley to win the rematch, even though I had him LOSING this fight. Bradley wasn't whacked in Bute style. So in the next fight between them I would be much in favour of Bradley - Pac looks to be a faded fighter. Better the Devil you know - Bradley.

    No upsets in boxing. Just bull****.

    OP is asking if it's the biggest upset, not robbery. Lewis-Holy were the two best heavies at the time going at it, that would've been pretty much 50-50, Lewis probably slight favorite.

    Biggest upsets I can remember right now in that time were Calzaghe-Lacy, Rahman-Lewis, Griffin-Jones (probably shouldn't count), Tyson-Holy, Foreman-Moorer, Pac-De La Hoya, Donaire-Vic, Vic-Mijares, Sanders-Klitshko. I don't think this one should rank with those, firstly Bradley didn't win, secondly he was being given a chance by many pre-fight due to Pac's lacklustre previous few performances.

    How is it an upset.

    Pac won clearly. How is that an upset?

    ________

    Just like Chisora got a title-shot and Helenius didn't, because Chisora won their fight. It does not matter what some corrupt judges do.

    Chisora won and got the shot.

    Pac won, and that's where we are now.

    Robberies cannot be classified an upset.

    It's not even an upset so your question is flawed.

    Upset?

    This was the biggest robbery since the Lufthansa heist.

    Tarver KO2 Jones is the biggest upset. Jones was unbeatable at that point. Nothing more stunning in my lifetime. I was only 3 when Douglas beat Tyson so that doesn't count for me.
