What really is the biggest upset in boxing?

[gilgamesh]

Antonio Tarver stopping Roy Jones Jr in the second round (second fight).

I remember being speechless for several minutes after that happened.

[margaret thatcher]

Douglas vs Tyson is the biggest upset in the history of Pro Sports period. Ruiz vs AJ is the biggest upset since then.

The whole of pro sports now we go into a whole different topic

We do and Douglas vs Tyson is still at the top of the list of all time upsets.

Nah, Leceister city winning the title was outrageous

Always a punchers chance at heavyweight

In hindsight, the Tyson from the Tillis fight vs the Douglas from the Tucker fight would’ve been a close fight stylistically. Tucker had two hands v Buster and one hand v Mike. Plus the fact Tyson was 240 10 days before and had been knocked over by Greg Paige in sparring..

[coghaugen11]

But then hindsight is wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

[TheGman]

Michael Moore vs George foreman?
Evander holyfield vs James toney?
I know toney I a great fighter but I didn't expect him to holyfield.
Corrie sanders vs wlad klitschko too.

De la hoya vs pacquiao

Barrera vs pacquiao

[JamesPhilips]

Jose Seys Errol Christie

I agree Leicester City winning the PL was a bigger upset not only beat 1 but 19 others.

Also Holm Rousey?

Greece winning the Euros?

Denmark winning the Euros?

Woke up and heard the news on radio. Thought the DJ was on a wind-up. It was literally impossible to believe Tyson would lose to Buster.

[coghaugen11]

In the actual fight fraternity, Tyson/Douglas is not the biggest upset. Tyson had been showing signs of decline (in and out of the ring) and was inactive.

Armstrong/Zivic in the trade was genuinely shocking. Homicide was a shoe-in cert.

6 months from a stunning 1st round ko?

At the time it was shocking to see Roy hurt like that. I don't think we got that fight live in the UK but I managed to get a short clip of the KO the next day and I remember being really shocked seeing Roy hurt on the canvas. We hardly got to see any RJJ fights in his prime live in the UK.

4 or 5 completed rounds in 2 years.

In the Holmes and Spinks fights you can see intricate things he’s not doing anymore, his out of ring stresses affecting his boxing. Come the Bruno fight he’s a completely different fighter.

[Lenny Cravats]

Tszyu - Philips.

Was quite an upset, not on par with others mentioned, but it was pretty shocking.

Tyson had the aura and hype that he was completely unbeatable, lots of folk still buy into it today

I had Holm to beat rousey,rousey was(is) a little spoilt bratt and Holm was a kick boxing world champ and a boxing world champ where as rousey was a judo Olympic gold medalist but not great at stand up. Greece is a good shout,I remember going to florida for the first time and going the great English pub on I-drive and asking him who won(there wasn't Internet link there is now) and when the cockney at the bar told me Greece I thought he was on a wind up lol.

[margaret thatcher]

rousey was the most overhyped combat athlete ever

literally had ppl saying she was the greatest ever combat athlete, not just womens, but including mens, and in any sport. weve had sports where guys reign for decades or come back from defeat with great results....she put in a few good years in a shallow womens division and then got destroyed an then was done with, could never bounce back

funny enough, just a couple years later there is a new womans goat supposedly. the goats sure come and go in mma

The way Smith and the Sky loonies overhype Katie Taylor is equally ridiculous. Comparing her to Ray Leonard ffs.

Sugar Ray was the man amongst 100,000,000 men wanting to/trying to be boxers.

Against 1,000 females. Tops. On the planet.

[margaret thatcher]

sugar ray sucked a mans cock

[coghaugen11]

He could’ve sucked my dads dick, guy was great
