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

    I agree with your list, except MP-EM 2. I don't even know who was the underdog in that fight.

    I know that was far from an upset lol.

    I think Morales and Pac were both around 10/11 the two, so i hardly call that an upset.

    Top four in terms off betting has to be:

    Douglas v Tyson
    Holyfield v Tyson
    Rahman v Lewis
    Judah v Baldomir

    Yeah, i think i tried to slip it in and hope no one would notice that. Rahman V Lewis was certainly a huge upset! Perfect example of how anything can happen in boxing and it usuaally does!.

    You beat me to it...

    Props on the Baldomir-Zab...

    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.
    Good call on SSM-Forrest.

    Brilliant...
    2 that came to mind.
    I sat ringside for Quintana-Paul 1 and it's one of the most amazing things I've seen ringside.
    The way CQ fought and how he countered Paul all night was great.
    Def. a upset that is over looked IMO and should be highly regarded.
    I don't care what Paul did after in the rematch the point is he lost the 1st time around and that is huge upset.

    Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision.
