    I'm going Fitzsimmons vs Corbett.
    Leonard vs Hagler is up there as well.

    Out of those listed I'd have picked Duran vs Leonard.

    I’m assuming the OP means upset.
    I could be wrong ?

    Probably Ali vs Foreman.

    For the 21st century it is for the moment Marquez's knockout on Pacquiao.

    By definition, the greatest win in history should be the one who overcame the biggest odds.

    So Douglas over Tyson.

    Can't say Duran/Leonard because Duran wasn't a 50-1 underdog or whatever Douglas was.
