Whn has an out of shape fighter pulled off the upset?

Id say Duran above 154 was out of shape so his win over Barkley was quite exceptional.

When I read the title I was excited about this thread. But thanks to you pricks And your specifics i was wrong to be so.

I hope you all break ankles.

And a big unlucky, to the threads stater.

Good call but a lot of people say that Mayorga was just being a showman pulling off media stunts like smoking and eating chicken wings while weighing in. It certainly was an upset though.

The closest I can think of is the late Corrie Sanders vs Wladimir, maybe Tex Cobb vs Earnie Shavers?

Can you guys think of any? Surely it has happened albeit infrequently but it has to have occured before. I remember Buster Douglas used to go into fights flabby, but vs Tyson he looked in great shape.

Not so much an upset, but how about Tim Wetherspoon vs Bruno.

Tony Tubbs beating the unbeaten Zolkin, and giving Bowe hell, comes to mind.

Good one. He didn't quite beat Bowe, but I was very impressed at how well he could box when I recently caught that fight on ESPN classic.

Tubbs could handle himself in there despite the Tyson loss.
