Besides Lacy and Calzage name a time where the heavy favorite was destroyed.
I was just tryin to remember a fight where a heavily picked favorite in a fight but the so called experts and fans not only lost the fight but destroyed from the begining to end. I thought Tyson and Douglass, but even Tyson had one or two moments in his loss.

Barrera vs Hamed
IIRC I think Trinidad was a bigger favorite against Wright since it was though that you needed to have good movement to beat Tito and Winky was never known for a mover. I don't think anybody expected Winky to just stand there with his hands up and 1-2 Tito to death for 12 rounds.
Also Tarver vs Hopkins. B-Hop had just come out of 2 straight losses and moved up 2 weight classes against the man who beat the unbeatable Jones Jr., not to mention he was also 40 years old. I many don't have a very high opinion on Tarver but at the time he was a heavy favorite.

I forgot about winky and tito now that most definitley is a time because winky beat tito ass from the begining to the end and tito didn't have a moment in that fight where he even looked like he stood a chance.

I would not call the losers in those fights destroyed. As they were competitive and some were actually winning at the time they lost

From the lists everyone's made, Forrest-Moseley 1 and WLaddy - Sanders are the recentish ones that stick out for me. Got my dad to tape Wladdy fight and made him promise not to givfe the result away when I got back from Rugby training, the git handed me the tape and said 'good fight, you'll be surprised', fucking moron.
