    Only against Oscar.Originally he was 2-1 favourite but many people bet on Oscar pulling off the upset and Floyd became 3-2 underdog fight time

    Pretty sure Monzon was the underdog for the first Benvenuti fight.

    Wlad was only an underdog for Joshua as far as I know.

    I don’t think Edwin Valero was an underdog.

    Paul Spadafora was an underdog against Pito Cardona, but that’s probably it.

    Francisco Damiani probably makes it.
