Re: What are some of the most famous upsets in boxing history?
James J Braddock, the Cinderella Man, unexpectedly won the heavyweight title against Max Baer in 1935. Braddock had just beaten 2 contenders and future light heavyweight champion John Lewis so was on a good run of wins before he face the champion.
They even made a film about it.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
