Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years

[Fenster]

Hold up.. no disrespect David Shipman but you've totally contradicted yourself.

You've started with - Barrera came into the fight (the Naz fight) as a "washed up" 27-year-old who was recently badly beaten by Junior Jones. Then you're saying he (Barrera) shot back against Morales giving him all he could handle.

err.. so CLEARLY Barrera was in great form going into the Naz fight.

Barrera beating Naz wasn't an upset to many either

[Mark TKO]

I picked MAB to win the Naz fight - go and look on the old Prince naseem forum for the evidence

I also had Hopkins an easy winner over Trinidad and had the Tarver fight as a pick 'em .

Agree with the others though - nice

Anyone not think it was an upset in the way that hatton made it to the second round the other week

Mosley beating Margarito was a an upset especially after his sub-par performance against Mayorga. Not many people (including myself and im a massive Mosley fan) had him down to win after what Margarito did to Cotto and to win in such a dominant fashion and with a KO not many predicted it!

Good stuff.Those are huge names,mega fight upsets.Not to sound like an obnoxious twat but I picked 4 of em .Hopkins over Tito and Tarver, Barrera over the princess and Holyfield to beat up Tyson.....and didn't Mike get dropped in the 6th but finish on his feet in the fateful 11th,though KTFO.

Nothing tops Douglas beating Tyson in my book. I would also say Baldomir beating Judah was a huge upset no one ever saw that coming. Another biggie was Vernon Forrest beating Shane Mosley when he was considered invincible. Foreman Moorer has to make the list.

.....never go against the Hopkins.Now Lewis/Rahman 1...that was a literal jaw dropper

Number 1 upset of all time is most definetely Tyson being KO'd by Douglas.

[Chino]

Would like to see Douglas given a bit more credit for the win against Tyson then he actually gets there

It was not like Douglas threw a lucky punch and that was it. He was connecting with that piercing jab, combinations, uppercuts, etc. He fought well. Not so sure about the 14 seconds he got when he went down though.
