    Well everyone here is talkin about Cotto and Margarito.... Sure it was a upset but it wasnt a 90/10 type one.

    Or when Lee lost top some bum.... ;P

    Qunatana vs Williams (whatever)

    Campbell vs Juan Diaz ( I called Campbell, but its a upset so whatevr i didnt think so.)

    Pacquiao vs De La Hoya - Ehh yea it was I admit it.

    Darchinyan vs Mijares - sure was. Ill admit that tho.


    BUT im sure no one on this forum expected Bunema to TKO Karmazin.

    Karmazin vs Bunema vs upset of the year according to statics, hands down.


    I am myself a Karmazin fan, and I know hes picking it up after the loss!

    I think a lot of the so-called 'upsets' are only because fight writers are so blinded by the consensus of boxing pundits. For the life of me, I couldn't see how anyone could pick Cotto to withstand Margarito's onslaught. And I picked Pac to outpoint DLH, though not destroy him, and Hopkins, if not to win, at least to give Pavlik a very difficult time. The real upsets to me were Vitali annihilating Peter after 4 years away from the ring, Nate Campbell schooling Juan Diaz and Sergio Mora dominating Vernon Forrest (the first time). Others, inevitably, will disagree.

    Bunema/Karmazin was a solid upset.

    Darchinyan/Mijares was a major upset. That was an epic upset.
