What really is the biggest upset in boxing?

[oogiebe]

He has brought down the quality of this forum to such a low level and it shouldn't be encouraged. 'Sugar Ray sucked a mans cock, I read it in his autobiography'' is an all time low. The only reason I read it was because he was quoted - it is just thousands of posts of a similar nature and it is about time he was banned.

You take it all way too seriously, but I'm the idiot. No one is getting banned over this.

You are an idiot - an idiot encouraging another idiot to be an idiot when he doesn't need the encouragement to be an idiot because that's what he is on here 24/7. Have you both thought about a job?

Though you're right on this one, he won't be banned as he drags the forum further down the shithill, that is the fault of the mods on this particular forum who don't seem to be arsed. Nothing I can do about that.

An old adage goes something like this: "if someone I think is an idiot upsets me, who's the idiot?"

Here is a new adage 'Idiots go on the ignore list' the pair of you need a job. Seriously, life is too short to be arguing with you being a pudendum and encouraging another pudendum to act like a bigger pudendum than he already is.

And I don't know why you're here, what you know about British and Irish boxing you could write on the back of a gnats arse so whatever opinion you have on here has no merit. Anyway, say hello to your penpal and the other two posters on my ignore list. What you say in reply won't be read.

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

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

My dad said that SRR would purposefully lose or have a 'rough' time in order to make some bucks on the rematch to draw interest. Didn't see enough of him to have an opinion, but dad saw him fight during that era, so who am I to disagree.

fighting as much as he did too, srr was bound to have some off nights, to be sore/tired from previous fights, etc. things like that could certainly lead to a guy having more issues than he'd normally have vs much less talented opponents. turpin of course had plenty of talent himself though, and was fantastic that night............i dont think srr intentionally lost that one

Good points. I don't see the Turpin fight as an all time upset either.

Not mentioned here was Ali/Norton I. At the time a HUGE upset.

[margaret thatcher]

norton almost got larry too, that was a hell of a fight

[oogiebe]

norton almost got larry too

Wouldn't have been an upset. I think that fight was even money. And Norton was through his PhD with Ali already. No one knew who he was when they first met.

[oogiebe]

I had Norton by a close decision in that one.

[margaret thatcher]

kenny could very easily have wins over ali and holmes, imagine how good that would sound to say he's beaten both

15th round was great

Greatest round without a knockdown in history.

Norton definitely won the round. Holmes put together a thrilling sequence of right hands in the last 30 seconds but it was all Norton before then, in my opinion. The decision hinged on the round. Two of the judges went for Holmes and their final scores read 143-142 for Holmes. The other score was also 143-142, but for Norton.
Norton is surely the only world champion in boxing history never to win a world title fight.

Ruiz Joshua deserves a mention

Najib Daho beating Pat Cowdell in a round

I will accept no other answer!

I still think it is a terrible shame that Daho's fans stormed the ring as soon as Cowdell hit the ground. Najib's greatest win was sullied because of their behaviour. Cowdell was out but he wasn't 10 and out.

[revporl]

I don't think he was getting up! But yes you're right, it put the result in jeopardy too.

Weirdly (I was about 11 at the time and not sure now), but I've an idea the fight was during the daytime rather than the evening? Maybe that's an entirely erroneous memory.

It was at the FTH in Manchester, home of the famous Bob Dylan Judas gig too, trivia fans.

Anyway, yeah, the biggest shock in boxing ever, bar none. Fact.

Yes, it was a Saturday afternoon show screened 'live' on World of Sport. Tony Willis retained his British lightweight title against Steve Boyle and then came the Daho-Cowdell shocker. Nobody deserved a British title more than Daho but he was lucky that his fans didn't get him disqualified.

Fair play to Cowdell in the return bout...he bossed the rematch

[Wee Tommy]

sugar ray sucked a mans cock

It’s was him who had his own cock sucked by his Olympic coach. Shocking revelation before his book came out.

[margaret thatcher]

ya it was shocking how much detail he described it , he was very open about it. of course most sports coaches are great and will change ppl's lives for the better, but it is an area that makes fertile ground for ppl looking to exploit others
