    Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman? One sided beat down, derailed him as a force in the division and exposed him for the hype job he turned out to be.

    Hopkins whooped the likes of Tarver and Pavlik after he'd started to decline most impressively.

    Duran vs Barkley was close,I thought Duran was down around 1 or 2 points until he swooped the last 4 rounds.

    IMO it was a huge upset ,i don't think that many fans expected that 38 old Duran beat a much bigger stronger guy.
