    Can you list any examples of a bully type boxer getting beaten by an underdog?

    Here is a few I can think of

    Cassius Clay Vs Sonny Liston
    Muhammad Ali Vs George Foreman

    Mike Tyson Vs James Buster Douglas
    Mike Tyson Vs Evander Holyfield

    Michael Watson Vs Nigel Benn
    Joe Calzaghe Vs Jeff Lacey

    Is there any other examples?

    Kabayel putting Makhmudov away was a notable recent one.

    Kambosos pulling off Cinderella against Lopez.

    I really enjoyed George Kambosos Jr Vs Teofimo Lopez not many thought he would win that bout. I was disappointed he couldn’t sustain his form as the Champion.

    Hurd’s losses, but I’m only gonna list the Williams one since it was at his prime weight.
    P.S. don’t mean he’s a bully irl, just in the ring, he’s an on top fighter, doesn’t like it when things aren’t going his way and also relies heavily on size.
    Also Margarito vs Mosley.

    Disgusting, its shameful how people paint Liston as if he was a villain.

    What else do you call a leg breaker in the mafia? He was a public menace but who cares anyway? we're only watching boxing and you don’t know the guy.
