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.

Re: Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years
Douglas over Tyson is the biggest upset in boxing history IMO!
Barkley over Hearns was huge!
Tarver knocking out Roy Jones jr in 2 rounds...never expected that!
Phillips over Tszyu was a shock, Tszyu nearly had Phillips outta there in 3.
Quintana over Williams...in hindsight WTF happened?

Moorer-Foreman. I think the majority would pick Tyson-Douglas.
