Tyson-Holyfield I. Tyson got what he deserved especially at the press conference talking about how he was going to rape Holyfield.
Tzyu-Phillips. Great to see an underdog really persevere and defeat an massive favorite.

Darroll wilson spoiling and beating the crap outta Shannon Briggs on HBO...I was literally >><< for hours.Wore the tape out rewatching it.

One that also sticks and I'll never shut up about."past" it Ras-I Bramble brought in for undefeated and streaking Oba Carr.He was chosen by receiving the most "900" phone votes and brought young Carr to hell in the ring.Deserved the win.We must have called from every single pay phone we saw haaa.

Foreman-Moorer. Great to see the old man exorcised his demons and recapture the HW title. It was pretty awesome to see him wearing the same red shorts almost 20 years to the day that he lost to Ali while fighting Moorer.

for me two things standout that made my day! china chin amir khan getting destroyed by breidis prescott and mike tyson, reaffirming my belief that he was vastly overrated, getting KO'd by a 42-1 underdog, Buster Douglas! those two stand out for me!

Re: Can you recall an upset the was PARTICULARLY satisfying?
Shit, I mean, he did everything but end Jirov's career with that beating in the later rounds. Looking back a KO he may have come back from. But Toney getting the better of him over those 12 hard rounds.. And that fantastic KD... what a fight!
Props to CutMeMick... Baldomir beating Zab was rather satisfying. He is such an arrogant prick with nothing but excuses when it comes down to it. Judah is probably the best 4 round fighter in history. How did he not win a gold metal in the olympics?
haha I stand corrected.
I guess it has been a while since I watched it.

Re: Can you recall an upset the was PARTICULARLY satisfying?
It was an upset at the time and a big one considering what everyone on here was saying and all the boxing "experts" too were saying, and that fight was Calzaghe/Lacy. It wasn't just a win, it was a beautiful display of the most precise and dominating boxing you could ask for. It's a fight that I get great pleasure from watching; it is boxing as artistry.
To me it was really never much of an upset and you can dig through my posts to prove me right. I knew all along that Calzaghe would be way too much and it was good to be proven right as a novice on here. I've lost a few stripes since, but that one earned me a few points. I've always got a soft spot for it.

- Hopkins beating Tarver, I remember how peoples were saying he was too old and that getting up in weight to fight against the kingpin would be too much for him. Not that I am a huge fan of Hopkins but I sure dislike Tarver a lot.

Frankie Randall beating Julio Cesar Chavez. Not that I particularly disliked Chavez, but between the Meldrick Taylor incident and the Pernell Whitaker draw, it seemed the judges/refs weren't ever going to allow Chavez to lose a fight unless somebody knocked him out. Randall didn't dominate JCC, but he did enough to where he couldn't be denied.
Courtney Burton KO'ing Angel Manfredy. Again, I didn't dislike Manfredy, but it was cool watching a guy like Burton who'd been through some adversity realize his dream in front of you like that. You could tell that fight meant everything to him and he got the job done.
I missed me, so Im back!

I like 99% of upsets, because I always cheer for the underdog.
Tyson going down to Douglas was a thrill at the time.
Did lennox good getting sparked.
Ivan over Atturo.
