Biggest boxing upset in history

[SimonH]

Yes Douglas/Tyson was the biggest upset ever,not just in boxing, but in sports history, and few would disagee.

Of course, boxing's bad luck was such, it happened the same night as Nelson Mandela being released from Jail, so it was knock off virtually every papers front page.

He had been in jail for 27 years, so surely one more week would not make that much difference? :P

I agree with the notion of it being the biggest upset in all of sports history, does anybody remember the odds in Vegas for Douglas to win that fight. Whoever bet on him made a pretty penny.

Douglas was 35 to 1 against, Tyson 42 to 1 on
