    Douglas knocking out Tyson. I'm guessing you think Ali knocking out Foreman was the bigger upset.

    Your guess was terribly wrong. I voted for the second option dude and I was the first one who paid my vote as the TS.

    So, was there any upset in the boxing history which was bigger than Douglas knocking out Tyson? I have no idea at the moment.

    Why are you asking the question then? Did someone you know think otherwise or something? I mean the second option was kind of the obvious answer that would get the most votes.

    Mohammed Ali, or Cassius Clay as he was called at the time, upsetting Liston was considered a tremendous surprise since Liston was expected to obliterate Clay. In fact, his accelerated heart rate at the weighing was understood as a sign of extreme fear of Liston. That's why Ali kept vociferously chanting during the post-fight interview that he had shocked or shaken up the world.

    "Why are you asking the question then?" I don't really understand your question dude. There are 2 options to choose so what will be wrong if I pay my vote to the second option? I' m not sure which one is the bigger upset than the other but I prefer the second one to the first one, and that is why I voted for the second option.
    You're making me terribly confuse dude!

    And if I voted for the first option then what would be wrong about that? I am just thinking that your question is very stupid.

    Sorry I was just curious! I'm a curious guy. When I first saw your question I assumed that you thought Foreman/Ali was the bigger upset and was in full argue mode waiting for someone to say Tyson/Douglas. I thought the answer to your question was fairly obvious, and comparable to someone asking like which was a more skilled fight Morales/Barrera or Gatti/Ward.

    Like I said, I was just questioning why you're asking it. You've been a member of this forum for 10 years, which means you most likely know a lot about boxing. It's kind of hard to believe that someone would ask this question without knowing that Douglas/Tyson would be the obvious and more popular vote.
