However, the "welterweight" was favourite, all so easy with hindsight, isn't it.

And WBO champions stepping up become mandatory, that's their rules. It would be fascinating to see how the career of multi-division champs like Crawford had played out without benefiting from it.

Even oddsmakers make mistakes, and this one, who had favored Ali before the fight, admitted he had a made a mistake and Ali had no business being in there with the much, much bigger Munguia. A sentiment shared by much of the boxing world.

Exactly. A perfect illustration of my point, all so easy with hindsight. If boxing fans were forced to put their money where their mouth is, trust me, they'd quickly see the entire business in a different light.

(p.s - not to show off, but I was in the minority who profited from the upset )
