The Greatest Upsets Of All Time?

I still can't believe Mike Tyson lost to Buster Douglas. I thought Mike Tyson was invincible.

 

Al McCoy knocking out George Chip in 45 seconds was a HUGE upset; in part because McCoy was never that highly regarded, and in part because Chip had only been stopped once, by a tough, well regarded Buck Crouse, and was renowned for his toughness.

 

not the greatest upset. But the stoppage of the Kostya Tszyu-Zab Judah was BS.

 

Please go away.

 

In the public eye, its far and away Tyson vs Douglass if I'm not mistaken? Reporters didn't even bother showing up to the fight.

 

Has anybody mentioned Spinks-Ali I?

Yes, we now look back at Ali as finished up, but at the time this still seemed monumental. The Greatest, while on the downside of his career, had still always had enough to pull it out and Spinks was an upstart with few fights and less than dominant to that stage. Heck, even his gold medal came on a punch out of nowhere.

I don't know the odds, but I know the world was shocked.

 

they were MUCH more than that weeman.

 

was Peters favourite to beat Jeremy Williams?

that shock stoppage might qualify.

 

42-1 underdog James "Buster" Douglas' knockout over the undefeated/undisputed world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in Tokyo, February 10, 1990, still stands as boxings biggest upset of all time, follwed by Evander Holyfield's first fight and victory over Tyson in 96'.

 

i will never understand why arum put this matchup in place. i knew this would be trouble for morales as soon as it was announced. morales was older and i'm not sure why you would put him in with an opponent who he was going to have to find. he could have fought anyone and fans would have ate it up. he had just beat pacquiao in a classic. stupid, stupid matchup.

I thought Dean Byrne deserved the nod over Carson Jones, huge gap in skill there.
