Massive upsets that almost happened

[TheLeprechaun]

I watched herbie hide battering bowe across the ring earlier and it made me think of some big upsets that almost happened. I remember junior jones was taking a hiding from a brit and ended up starching him in a last round comeback. Can you think of any upsets that were so close to happening?

[Boxing Writer]

Lewis vs Mercer, Bowe vs Golota, Moorer vs Cooper, Holyfield vs Cooper

[Stuarty]

Sturm v DLH. That one should've happened.

Did he really get battered at one point?! I remember it as being very one sided...

Lewis vs Mercer, Bowe vs Golota, Moorer vs Cooper, Holyfield vs Cooper

Bowe - Golota... great choice though of course it was Golota who messed it up

Yep - look at round 5 again, Bowe was out on his feet (go to 5:30). Hide also had a lot of success in the first three rounds but didn't have the chin or defence to keep Bowe off as he closed Hide down.

Bowe later described Hide as the hardest puncher he ever encountered in a Ring interview.

Paul ingle wasn't it?

Holyfield v Bert Cooper??

Yeah was down twice then came back to stop Jones in the 11th

[stujones]

I think the poster is meaning Richard Evatt vs Junior Jones.

If involving a brit... Kevin leushing flooring Trinidad.

Shannon Briggs hurt Lennox Lewis in his prime and Levi Billips also did when he was up and coming.

[Boxerbeetle]

Limond v Khan?

[littlepug]

Anyone remember Benn out on his feet on the bell in the last round of the Galvano rematch ? He had a close shave there but it really wasn't mentioned much at the time if I remember rightly

Really? Im asking because I havent seen the whole fight between Lewis and Billups.

Maidana Morales

Maidana Morales

That would have been brilliant. Maidana was great fun to watch, but Morales was one of my all time favourites, I would have loved to see him pull off one final big win.

[sgtcecil]

Limond v Khan?

If I remember correctly, Khan should have been counted out (been so long since I seen it so every possibility my memory could be skewed)

Yeah that’s my memory as well, although I never watched it back.

[handsofstone]

It seems ludicrous in hindsight but there was a 3 minute spell where I thought Brook might actually do something special against Golovkin

Think I might have been swayed with the crowd and Adam Smith's gurning

Richard Evatt

That's the lad. He was well on top but Jones was a vicious puncher. Marco Barrera was flattened twice with the same shot

Love the American commentary. "Bowe is now stalking him like a big cat"

Ah right, I had totally forgotten he fought Evatt
