Whn has an out of shape fighter pulled off the upset?

[El Kabong]

Seeing Tony Thompson come in at a whopping 262 a full 20 pounds over the heaviest weight he's ever fought at has me wondering....when has a guy come into the ring a huge under dog, been a total lard ass, and pulled off the upset? The closest I can think of is the late Corrie Sanders vs Wladimir, maybe Tex Cobb vs Earnie Shavers?

Can you guys think of any? Surely it has happened albeit infrequently but it has to have occured before. I remember Buster Douglas used to go into fights flabby, but vs Tyson he looked in great shape.

Wrong...

[El Kabong]

Sorry, "almost 20 pounds heavier than his last fight" .....either way there's no getting around it, Thompson isn't in good shape for this fight.

[TitoFan]

I would say all fights James Toney has fought at heavyweight.






















........ especially the part about being a total lard ass.

Also wrong...

Corrie was just 225, but he was not in peak condition.

Oh yeah. Corrie Sanders was a chiseled physical specimen when he fought Wlad.








Except that his waistline was bigger around than his chest.

No helping it TitoFan, best not to argue with anyone....I mean they've obviously never been wrong before

225 for a guy thats 6'4". sounds like good shape to me.

looking like an adonis cut from stone doesn't mean you're in shape or not in peak condition especially in the heavies.

the division if full of fat fucks. look at tua or peter they were destroyers. but by your definition out of shape.

do you even watch heavyweight boxing?

I'm one of the lucky ones. He has me on permanent ignore.
Meanwhile, I see he continues his abrasive ways.

Mentioning Tua and Peter says nothing. Both are heavy, squat, powerfully built fighters. Sanders looked like a weekend warrior, with little definition on his arms and chest, and a noticeable paunch. But whatever.....

Erik Morales came close to pulling off the upset against Maidana while completely out of shape

its hard to answer a question when its examples given to support it are inflammatory and inaccurate.
