would there be any better than Tyson - Douglas?
I told some co-workers that Lewis was primed for an upset{due to the movie, and his training, and his weight issue},against Rahman, and they laughed, then 6-8 of them offered me 15-1 odds on at least a ten dollar bet, and I didn't take it. >:mad
liston - ali would have been a good one you'd have got 10-1 on Ali :o
also i dont need to go back intime as i can get 4-1 on Judah this week ;D
Yeah, but didn't Douglas pay out 43 to 1?
Raheem - Morales would of been nice
and i think Baldomir might have payed out more than Douglas
really WOW thats some great odds wonder if anyone took them :oQuote:

Holyfield was 22-1 against versus Tyson in 96 with some bookies ;)
You got screwed; I got 24/1 on a tenner ;DQuote:

Apart from the fact that the 'Angel' didn't have any real bearing on the fight ;)Quote:

Do you think you would of got good odds on Marciano-Walcott 1?
Don't forget Braddock (Cinderella man) vs. Max Baer. I don't know what the odds were but nobody in their right mind picked Braddock.
Ali vs. Leon Spinks 1 was a big upset.
Foreman vs. Ali had Foreman a big favorite.
Schmeling vs. Joe Louis 1 was a big upset.
Roger Mayweather vs. Freddie Pendleton: an obscure fight but a big upset.
Here's 1 more: Ross Puritty vs. Wladimir Klitschko. Puritty was 24-13-1 while Klitschko was 24-0. The fight was very important for Klitschko but at that time he wasn't well known so few saw the fight. I never saw it. Of course Puritty was better than his record would suggest, but he was already well known for going the distance in losing efforts to many top-ranked fighters.
I read somewhere that Tyson Douglas was the biggest upset in boxing history going by odds, I have heard 43-45 to 1 several places.. I think Braddock and Max Baer was second at 36 or 33/1..
SPORTS history actually ;)Quote:

Chavez/Randall I
or Chavez/Whitaker
Good point, back in them days 33/1 was a minimum for the draw, sometimes you got 50/1, and sometimes even a 100/1; because everyone knew you NEVER get draws in boxing ;)Quote:
