    Of those listed, Hopkins over Pavlik. I just could not see how Hop could beat the limited but destructive and youthful Pavlik. He impressed the **** out of me, especially after the Calzaghe debacle.

    It's the only one that I could class as an 'upset'. To me anyway.

    Hopkins vs Pavlik and Mosley vs Margarito, other two were not upset at all...

    Im still in shock about Mosley destruction of Margarito..., but im even more in shock about Hopkins shutout over Pavlik. We know Mosley can fight and we know it will be competitive for 7-8 rounds after Margarito would took over, but Hopkins winning rounds by being more active than Pavlik ? NEVER...

    I'll also add that Mosley actually legitimately stopped his opponent rather than just making them quit, and Margo has (had) one of the hardest chins in the division. I guess I was mistaken about Klitschko-Peter, I thought Peter was a betting favorite going in. Oh well.

    Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I know people say that Pavlik is limited, a bum, got exposed, etc. but the man is still the best middleweight in the world and a damned decent fighter. Yes, he's undoubtedly limited but he uses what he's got very well, exceptionally in fact.

    I don't think Hopkins gets the credit he deserves for this masterful win.

    Its cool, I still never expected Peter to just let Vitali slap him like that. But Hop vs Pav was the better schooling. But as far as upsets, these 2 are like neck to neck.

    Every fighter is vulnerable to the body...

    For some reason Kessler and Bute did not use that weapon vs Andrade..., not to mention Cotto lack of intelligence vs Margarito..., no body shot at all. You cant slow down a mexican to the head for god sake !

    Shane ****ing destroyed him, and above that......the clown cheated Cotto, and probably many other fights, he exposed him so bad, that his whole career in is question now

    i think it was more upsetting to see a great like jones jr humiliated by calzaghe than any of those.

    ???

    With all due respect, A great man once said "If you knock a fighter out, you made him lose the fight. You make a fighter quit, made him lose his career."

    precisely why I'm picking the Pac-DLH bout as a more dominant win.

    1. Pac vs DLH
    2. Hopkins over Pavlik
    3. Mosley over Margarito

    All 3 were amazing though

    Kit vs Peter was not really an upset

    Mosley v Margarito. Tony wasn't himself that night...or maybe Mosley was just to good
