    Jose Armando Santa Cruz over Joel Casamayor is one that I think has been a little bit forgotten about and deserves some props since Jose's brother Leo is now looking to be quite a force in his division these days.

    Judges screwed it up but Santa Cruz won every single round against Casamayor.

    Pac was only about 2/1 or so, thats not a massive underdog. Thats a very competitive match up in a 2 horse race and especially in boxing betting where the odds are routinely massive favourites 1/20 etc.

    2/1 means hes predicted to win one third of the time, which doesnt qualify as much of an upset tbh. Its not a big upset for a 5 or 6 to come up when you roll a dice.

    Obviously Pac did completely own Oscar as an underdog of sorts (and no one expected that level of domination as far as im aware) but I dont think this example is what the thread creator was looking for.

    BHop is a slightly better example but still he was only 3/1 or so I believe.

    These arent big upsets.

    Its very difficult to think of any 1 sided beatdowns by massive underdogs. Only KOs and hardfought decisions etc. I'll throw in a couple of those types of scenarios just for the hell of it even if they dont quite fit the criteria.

    Ali was an 8/1 underdog in his first fight against Liston. Liston was so much a favourite infact that he was still installed as a slight favourite for the rematch.

    Frankie Randall split decision over Chavez as a 15/1 underdog ending Chavezs 90 fight unbeaten streak and delivering him his first ever knockdown.

    Please one of you saying you weren't shocked by Pac stopping Oscar, please show me a post on this forum were you predicted that would happen. Because I don't recall one person, other than a few hopeful Pac fans, who believed that would happen.

    I never posted here then but I guarantee you I said it on many others. I predicted Oscar would get killed on three forums.
