Most one-sided upset of all time?

[Beanflicker]

I'm not talking about the fights where the underdog scores a KO on a "lucky punch" or anything like that.

I'm talking about fights where the big underdog absolutely dominated the favorite in a way that would suggest that the underdog was CLEARLY the better fighter going in and make the oddsmakers say "WTF was I thinking."

Thinking along the lines of a Jeff Lacy/Joe Calzaghe situation, where the underdog just eats the favorite's soul in the ring.

I'll be honest, one time I was left jaw to the floor was when Hopkins schooled Pavlik. He ruined a top fighter, exposed him and made him look like nothing. I thought Hopkins had bit off more than he could chew at his age against a young, hungry puncher.

Wongjongkam getting stopped by a guy with a losing record recently was a massive shock and is probably the upset of 2012.

Pac Dominating Barrrera was a big shock at the time

That's a great example, I can't believe I forgot that one. Bhop ate his heart.

Pacquiao dominating Oscar was stunning too. I never saw that coming at all.

I'd also add Mosley beating the crap outta Margarito, just a stunning performance.

No, when Oscar came in so light it was just when would he be stopped but even then Pacquaio couldnt put him down or away. Oscar just quit.

Mosley is a steroid cheat, fuck him! Stop giving him props for being a dirty cunt.

Bullshit. I'm not buying that you thought a fucking 1 fight lightweight would stop Oscar. Not a chance you saw that coming.

Yes Mosley is a steroid cheat, but he tested clean for that fight, and it was against a guy planning to use loaded gloves on him.

Holyfield was a 20-1 underdog in his 1st fight with Tyson, and hardly anyone was giving Evander a chance. We should have known better, Holyfield had the heart of a lion and whipped Mike like a redheaded step-child.

Douglass - Tyson was also a huge upset that was for the most part dominated by Buster.

Least we forget Dempsey vs Willard back in the day, nobody thought Jack had a prayer.

Like Mark Twain said: “It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.”

Holyfield didnt completely dominate, Tyson still wan a fair few rounds. Douglas Tyson the same and Mike had him out on his ass too.

Early Tyson against everyone. He made everyone look like a beginner, novice, doofus or whatever you want to call them.
