    Goin back a bit, I would say Ali hugging and mugging his way through Frazier II, and out smarting the crude slugger young Foreman once. He was an underdog in both fights, because fans in his time didnt think he was really that good :hi:

    was he not the favourite for all the fraizer fights, But Ali was the underdog to both Liston fights, which he won Back to Back in 64 and 65

    Good call. Glen Johnson would have more such streaks if he hadn't been robbed so many times. Ditto Emmanuel Augustus, I suppose.

    Good call on Hopkins and Mayorga, the rest, not so much.

    Oh yeah, Mayorga over Andrew "No Chins" Lewis and Vernon Forrest was a pretty shocking, out of nowhere kinda thing! Great example.

    Well for Bradley I'm pretty sure he was a fairly big underdog against Witter, thend he follows that up with Cherry, Holt, and Ped..erson.. I'm pretty sure he deserves a shout...

    And for Martinez he beat Cintron twice in one night and still only got a draw, and hey, I thought he beat Williams twice..

    These are the guys who came on as a shot in the dark and didn't just have one lucky night.. They proved to be the real deal...

    Thats a great call on Johnson..
