    Randy Turpin v Sugar Ray Robinson
    John H Stracey v Jose Napoles
    Lloyd Honeyghan v Don Curry

    Not even the most biased of uk pundits would have called them.
    But Douglas - Tyson
    just stunned the world. Except for Japanese fans, what did they know that we did'nt.

    I brag about picking Clay over Liston quite often, but on several occasions I've come clean and told the truth. I was 7 years old, and a huge fan of old school pro rasslin. My favorites were mostly the heels, and Ali talked just like those guys, so my 7 year old mind assumed he would win!:hey

    No mention of Holyfield/Tyson? What were the odds on that first fight? It had to be huge.

    I picked Holy, and had a blast giving my co-workers massive **** and smack talk afterward!

    Baldomir vs Judah, that was a very big upset at the time.

    How do you come to that conclusion taking into account Bradleys lack of power and mediocre KO record?
