    Hard for me to classify Canelo/Bivol as an upset when it was obvious Bivol was a step too far.

    Maidana vs Broner for me, also!

    The build up, the hype around Broner, just everything about it & for it then to turn out the way it did! I've never been soo hyped during a fight! The knockdowns, the bullying, the reverse-bum hump! It was just so fun! :biggrin:

    It’s a hard pick between Maidana vs Broner and Kambosos vs Lopez, both was extremely satisfying to me.

    Bivol vs Canelo wasn’t that much of a upset if you know boxing but it was still a satisfying win.

    Chino vs. Bronediggity all time

    Povetkin vs. Whyte recently. There was a period in '19 and '20 where people were seriously talking about Joshua and Whyte being the #1 and #2 HW's. Whyte became MASSIVELY overrated by the same hype machine that created AJ. Seeing him get flattened by the real deal Sasha who was at the end of a long career was spectacular.

    Ruiz vs. AJ, Groves vs. Eubank Jr., J-Rock vs. Hurd, Kambosos vs. Fimo.

    Usyk vs. AJ wasn't an upset and aside from Bivol actually getting the win, also not an upset.

    A tossup between Sanchez/Gomez and Barrera/Hamed.
    Holyfield vs Tyson is right up there too.

    Maidana-Broner is hard to beat in this category.

    Vivian Harris vs Carlos Maussa is one of my personal favorites.

    Harris talked too much **** about how he’s going to beat Mayweather. He comes out throwing bombs against Maussa, got exhausted and then got knocked out.

    One of the most hilarious fights I’ve ever seen.

    That's exactly what we thought due to the fact that we've seen it before.
