    Default Average Joes who briefly achieved greatness.

    Call this a "Great Upsets" thread. Dedicated to all those journeymen who achieved fame, whether brief or lasting, by virtue of that one big victory against a great boxer in his prime.

    I'll start with the obvious, which is Buster Douglas and his victory over Tyson, perhaps the biggest upset ever.

    Matthew Hilton. I actually thought at one time he was above an average joe. Man did he disappoint after achieving some belts.
