Re: Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years
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.

Re: Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years
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.

Re: Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years
Number 1 upset of all time is most definetely Tyson being KO'd by Douglas.

Re: Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years
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.

Re: Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years
The two I liked are because I picked them:
Watson over Benn (just in the time frame), it still amazes me Benn came in a huge favourite; anyone who had seen Watson/Lee could see what was going to happen!
The best bet I ever had was putting a tenner on the 24/1 shot Holyfield to beat Tyson...
The biggest in the last 20 years is Tyson/Douglas; then Tyson/HolyfieldI and I would say Forrest/MosleyI sneaks bronze.

Re: Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years
Like Boxerharvey, I would put Mosley-Margarito above some that have been mentioned. Their careers were going in the opposite direction coming into the fight.
Margarito was an ultra strong 1/5 shot (if i remember right). Without having the facts, some of the fights mentioned would have been tighter than that in the betting.
