Re: Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years
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

Re: Best Boxing Upsets Of The Past Twenty Years
You beat me to it...
Props on the Baldomir-Zab...
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.
