    Yeah tarver did it first, that was truely shocking. The johnson upset was big too but not as shocking as his first KO loss.

    Pac-Barrera is a good pick, its what got Pac into the limelight. I do like their pick of Bhop-Trinidad, cause that fight got Bhop into the limelight... hindsight being 20/20 its easy to forget that Trinidad was expected to win and the asswhooping Hopkins gave him was an upset.

    Baldo/judah isnt a huge deal though it through a wrench in the judah/pbf showdown. But the Hatton/Kostya is a good pick, it launched Hatton's career into the mainstream too.

    Pacquaio/De La Hoya was hardly an upset for me.....i knew Manny had a better chance at winning that fight. Oscar hadn't fought at that weight in like 8 years.

    Mayweather/Oscar was more of an upset.

    Judah Baldomir was huge Judah was 1/33 to win that fight.


    Trinadad was only 1/4 favourite not huge, Hopkins Pavlik was just as big even Mosely beating Mrgo was bigger Margo was 1/5 fav to win that.

    WHOEVER SAID HATTON WAS 5/1 TO BEAT KOSTA WAS HE ****!!

    KOSTA WAS ONLY 8/15 TO WIN THE FIGHT

    lol Lacy was a 8/13 favourite nearly as 50/50 as you get!!!

    Just cos bias yanks had Lacy smashing Calzaghe the people that mattered new it was close fight to call.

    it may have only been on espn but w/ manny steward saying his guy was going to be a mw champ by the end of the year, andy lee got stopped by brian vera. i was almost more shocked to see that than anything else ive seen lately.

    edit to note that...ok...maybe not top 5 of the decade, i understand. but i was shocked to see it. no offense whatsoever...but it was brian vera.

    Raheem over Morales, Darchynian's first loss, Was Hopkins Taylor one an upset I thought Bhop was invincible at the time, Alex Bunema KO over Roman Karmazin, Rubio over Bojado, Castillo over Johnson, Naito over Wongjam, Billy Lyell over John Duddy, Wayne Braithwait over Joan Pablo Hernandez, Prescott over Amir Khan though I thought him getting KO'd was bound to happen, Dariuz Michalchewski to Gonzales, Holyfield to Donald, Chris Byrd over Vitali Klitschko, Lyahovich to Shannon Briggs shocked by the fact he won but how, Maskaev over Rahman the odds way in Rahman's favor,

    If you're going by odds, DLH-Pac was only about -170/+130 at fight time
