    Simon Brown somehow beat and upset Terry Norris when he was way past his best. Brown lost the return.

    Julius Francis who had lost to a number of domestic fighters as well as Vitali, Schulz and Mavrovic beat an undefeated Pele Reid and Danny Williams to get a pay day against Mike Tyson.

    Larry Holmes on his last legs beat Ray Mercer.

    Pacquiao over Thurman has to rate....I mean no way is Pac anywhere near what he used to be after JMM laid him out.

    Jesse James Leija over Francisco Panchito Bojado certainly ranks up there

    Mike Weaver 15th Round KO clearly losing and then two left hooks and as Howard Cosell would have put it, "Done goes Tate."

    Good thread, by shot are we talking greatly declined on the tail end of it regardless of opponent more than big underdog though. I'd say like a Edwin Rosario who had been written off more times than losing lotto stubs. He pulled out a come from behind KO over Anthony Jones for a 135 trinket..then gets absolutely battered in next out losing rematch to Juan Nazario. Barely beats a journeyman and looks slower and choppy, then a year later walks into Sacramento as the assumed 'name' doormat for streaking hometown 140 champion Loreto Garza and destroys Garza.

    2 of those 3 loses for Spinks coming in were nothing to be ashamed of. He had Taylor going backwards all night as the smaller man. Some could argue he even did enough to win the Middleweight Championship that night. The next loss before Latimore was another split decision to hard nosed veteran Verno Phillips.

    What about Jhonny Gonzalez over Hasegawa and Mares?

    Good pick, Holmes may not have been shot as much as just past his prime going in against a should've been sure bet to lose.

    You called it. I wasn't sure of him back then- in terms of his losses, didnt know if he was a hot n cold fighter in contrast to when his skills faded. Stopped in 92' & 93' yet ended his career on a win streak.

    Agreed on Spinks losses, they were legit, but that Lattimore fight he walked in looking like the boxer that got old in the ring.

    Holmes got a real title shot after that mercer win against Holyfield. Tyson was in jail so Larry probably could have beaten him at that point.

    OK maybe Francis was not shot more shit but you know Pele knocked out Vitali in kick boxing which is his claim to fame.

    ​Pele was brilliant, people forget that and just think it's all about Messi and Ronaldo these days

    Thomas Hearns V Virgil Hill.

    I'm not sure Hearns was truly shot, but many considered him to be three years earlier when Barkley iced him & when he hung on for dear life against Kinchen, but he was most definitely way past his best & he had no right to completely outbox an accomplished fighter like Hill like that.

    Come to think of it, he beat Leonard against the odds in '89, but got robbed enabling Leonard to keep his trinket.

    Good call. Shot or past his best, he wasn't supposed to dominate in the fashion he did.
