    Exact numbers if you remember them.

    Kevin McBride was a 9 to 1 underdog against Mike Tyson. Speaks volumes about Tyson and how invincible he as perceived as being until the very end.

    Douglas as 40 to 1 against Tyson in Tokyo, wasn't he?

    Trinidad was 3-1, Tarver was 3-1 and Pavlik was 4-1 over Hopkins. Wright was also a slight favourite, 3-2 or 2-1 or something like that. Don´t know the odds for the Jones, DLH and Calzaghe fight.

    Hagler was 4-1 over Mugabi.

    Ruddock was 2-1 over Lewis.

    Hide was 2-1 over Vitali Klitschko.
