    What upset would be as big as the Tyson-Douglas upset today?

    Do you think something like Richard Gutierrez knocking out Manny Pacquiao? I really dont know becuase i was not alive when Tyson was the king of boxing and i dont really know how big he was

    you think? Tim bradley although i dont think will beat Pac has some skill and stands a chance although slim. Did people think Douglas had anything of a chance?

    pretty much no, the only one who really believed that buster could do it was himself

    The people who bet on Douglas thought so.

    Well the equivalent would have to be roughly 40-1 odds, and ripple the entire sports world, not just boxing fans. So not likely to happen.

    Pacquiao or Mayweather losing at this point would probably send the biggest shockwaves.

    Yeah, the guy who beats Mayweather or Pacquiao will have achieved that.

    It was a shock at the time Douglas was not a bad fighter but he was lazy.He had fought for the IBF title once before losing to Tucker.I think something like Audley beating Haye would be about the same.Its unlikley but not out of the question.

    It would shock quite a few HW boxing fans but wouldn't shock the world. For the record, Wlad likely would KO Arreola IMO, but hardly impossible that Arreola wins by KO.

    Yeah I think the only thing that would be equivalent would be if Mayweather or Pacquiao got KO'd by a relative unknown, then it leaked out their life was falling apart and they weren't training much.

    Mayweather or Pacquiao losing to a "no-hoper". I'm not talking Manny losing to a Margarito or Clottey, or even Mayweather losing to Baldomir, Gatti, or Mitchell.

    It's way beyond that. Douglas, despite actually being a pretty talented fighter, was a 42 to 1 underdog.
