    Inoue is currently a 50 to 1 favorite vs a multi-time and reigning prime champion. He's so dominant that it's genuinely unbelievable.

    No, but it would be up there with Douglas-Tyson and Clay-Liston. Maybe even a bit bigger because Butler doesn't have that "puncher's chance" which heavyweights have.

    I think bigger because Tyson was a fearsome puncher, but not known particularly for his boxing craft. Inoue's a different kind of *ahem* monster because he's a fearsome puncher AND a master boxer. Also as you said, heavyweight.

    I think the biggest upset is Douglas-Tyson or Robinson-Turpin. Butler winning would be highly unlikely but I wouldn't say it was the greatest upset boxing history. It might be the biggest upset of all time below 126 lbs but I might be forgetting something obvious.

    Maybe the legendary Chartchai Chionoi losing to a fighter who was only 1-0 could be the biggest upset below 126?

    EDIT: If anyone has any information on this fight and on what in God's name happened there I would love to know. Willy only had one more fight after that too. Very weird. Honestly I'm gonna make a thread on this in classic.

    Inoue is -8000 on Draft Kings but Butler is only +1300. Means you have to lay 80-1 to take Inoue and get only 13-1 if you take Butler. What a scam

    You have to bet 8000 dollars to win 100 on Inoue, but you only get 1300 for betting 100 if Butler wins.

    I think Inoue will get upset L.

    But it wont be Buttler. The guy doesn't have power to get Inoue cautious or off his game at all. He will be overwhelmed. But I know one guy who has the power to crack him.I fink Buttler will get hit by the first real shot he never felt in his career and go on a complete defensive possibly look for a way out like Okaho. Maybe jump out the ring!! NO MAS!!

    No.

    Not because it wouldn't be shocking, but more that Robinson and Tyson were global icons, and considered unbeatable by the stereotypical man on the street.

    Whereas Inoue is probably only known by more hardcore boxing fans, (albeit with a big following in his home country).


    It would however, be a massive massive shock.

    Those are the odds on draft kings.
    Thanks. I thought it was a misprint or something. I'll check tomorrow to see if it's right but those are the way boxing odds are. Love Inoue but I'm not laying those odds

    Clay was a legit contender v Liston. Butler is only there by default, courtesy of the ludicrous multi belt system. Even with the Seven Samurai backing him up, he’d be hari karied!
