Some Gatti Nuthuggers and 60% of the people were saying that Gatti is going to win, before this fight. Floyd proved it in the ring and beat Gatti. Its not an upset or fight of the year but i put it there on purpose to show it to the nuthuggers...

Hatton vs Zoo isn't that big of an upset b/c anyone with half a brain would know that in his last fight Zoo looked like shat and Hatton had a very good chance especially it being in his backyard.
Versastyle 11-19-2005, 04:00 PM number 1 is douglas over tyson. alot of boxing writers and trainers and commentators say that one.

Sorry, I'm thinking of the first fight when Sharmba was outboxing him easily just kept running into right hands.

I think most people wanted Gatti to win, but didn't think he would.

TuPrincipe 11-19-2005, 05:38 PM That wasn't a BIG upset.
Taylor was hyped up to be younger, bigger, and stronger.
Hopkins was hyped to be old, experienced, and washed up.
I think it was 50/50 really so I wouldn't call it a "major" upset.

I really didn't see it as THAT big an upset.
I waited and waited to see Bernard in with a naturally bigger middleweight.
To be honest, I expected the outcome.
And I have a $200 dollar bet that B-Hop gets ko'd in the rematch.
(I did make the bet drunk but after thinking about it for awhile I'm cool with my pick)

IMO B-hop is too smart to be KO'd by a kid like Taylor. A Decision win for Hopkins is more likely. Just a set up for a Taylor Hopkins 3.
Keleneki 11-19-2005, 06:22 PM Maussa vs. Harris? :) Carlos and his wanky style just cracks me up and nobody thought that he was going to beat Vivian.
Douglas over Tyson is hands down the biggest upset in history......Another recent one that comes to mind is Rahman over Lewis, nobody was expecting that one. This year I'd have to say Raheem over Morales or Soto over Juarez. Taylor beating Bernard is just not an upset in my eyes. Hopkins is old and over-rated. He finally fought someone his own size who was younger and stronger and he'll lose again come December. Although it didn't happen this year, Pacman over Barrera was a pretty big upset to some, I knew Pac would stop Marco though.....too much power. FOTY - Corrales & Castillo, instant classic.
oldgringo 11-19-2005, 06:28 PM The biggest upsets I can think of are Honeyghan over Curry, Douglas over Tyson, and Clay over Liston, Rahman over Lewis, Ali over Foreman...
Raheem over Morales was a fairly large upset...as was Jones over BArrera.
Biggest upset of the year was when Terry "No Chin" Norris was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame! What the **** was that.
