    Thanks for replies:good
    The reason, why I asked about these fights is separating really huge upsets from fights, where chances of fighters were considered as equal or close to that.
    I mean, Lewis-Rahman I, Klitschko-Sanders, Klitschko-Brewster I, Mosley-Forrest I, Jones vs Tarver II, Hopkins - Pavlik were really huge upsets, but fights like Gatti-Gomez and Lewis - Golota:huh I don't know why people considered these fights being upsets. May be average joe, who watched boxing 2-3 times per year was picking Golota to beat Lewis, but most of fans, who really knows boxing were picking Lennox. Of course, such an easy destruction of Andrew was somewhat shoking even for me, but I have predicted a big KO for Lennox in 5 round.
