    That one was hilarious because you could clearly see that Judah could've easily beaten him had he just kept his composure. And he was winning the early rounds easily. But i think around the 5th round or so, he got caught with some flurries and his mental maturity went from an adult's to about a 12 year old's. :lol: He completely lost it.

    pac - barrera

    the odds were against pac during that time.. but he was a live underdog.. then we all knew what happened

    An underdog yes, but i wouldn't call it one of the biggest upsets. A lot of people were still picking Hop to beat him. I guess if BewareofDawg was favouring the performance more so then the odds thats fair enough, but my interpretation of the thread was that we were looking at major upsets. It was certainly not in the same league as Douglas v Tyson, Judah v Baldomir, Tszyu v Phillips ect ect...

    Id say Davey Moore was bigger, he was promising and undefeated while I found Barkley erratic

    You know what..I dont think so ..there was acertain buzz around that fight...it seems there was a heavy sentiment of PAC besting MAB in that fight..he was looking sensational coming from 122

    Moore was a great upset as well. For me, nothing tops Barkley, since it got him the WBC title at 160.

    There will never be a fighter quite like Duran

    Rahman knocking Lewis out in Africa. I swear it justified that whole 1996-2001 period where Lewis was winning but not being knocked out.
