    Ortiz beats Floyd?

    Would it be in the Douglas/Tyson catergory or worse?

    Wouldn't be as big as Pac - Oscar

    Maybe Hatton - Tszyu

    Not even close in my book...it would be a big upset, but not Tyson/Douglas level. Ortiz is the WW champion, he's going to be bigger and stronger, and he's a good fighter...It would be on Par with Jermain Taylor beating Hopkins the first time, IMO.

    It would be big but not like Tyson-Douglas which was arguably the biggest upset ever.

    Maybe comparable to Tarver beating Roy in their second fight but slightly bigger.

    It will go down as one of the bigger upsets in the last 20 years or so. Top 5.

    Only Floyd nutthuggers think that fight wasn't a massive upset. Obviously from the first second of round one we knew who would win but up to that everyone was expecting an annihilation of Pac

    And by the way im not disrespecting Floyd by saying it wouldnt be as big an upset, im simply giving Ortiz alot of respect

    Actually you lost more credibility with the Tszyu-Hatton comparison.

    This, of the last 20 years i'd have it possibly interchangeable with Holys win over Tyson.

    Douglas was a 40-1 underdog.

    Ortiz as it stands is a 7-1.
