Not my favourite I wanted Chavez to get to that 100 but Randall boxed brilliantly and knocked down the great man to win the fight. That was the fight where Julio got old and started being a bad loser. They cheated Randall in the second fight.

Here in the UK Calzaghe's masterclass against Lacy jumps out.
Khan getting sparked by Prescott was a bit of a shock at the time, but Randolph Turpin beating Sugar Ray has to be right up there for famous upsets.

Leotis Martin v Sonny Liston.
Not only did Martin upset the odds, he was the only man to truly spark out Liston with a beautiful short Right which knocked the stuffing out of Sonny, followed by a Left/Right finishing 2 punch combo to take Liston out clean.
It's a real shame for Leotis that he couldn't fight again after this, although in all honesty, peak Frazier would have chewed him up.

Ali beating Liston would have been a huge upset at the time.
