          it's every weight class, but in my book, the top 5 upsets of all time are at heavyweight.

            I wouldn't call that a great upset, because Tarver gave him a good fight the first time, so some people thought he would win.

              Well, the sudden ktfo factor gave the great upset feeling.

                I suppose that it was one of the most shocking fights in boxing history, because he was ko'd, but not necessarily a great upset. Foreman-Frazier was shocking, not because Foreman beat him, but because of the way he beat him. Dempsey Willard was shocking not because Dempsey beat him, but beacuse of the way he beat him. Same thing for Tarver. Because of the way he beat him, not necessarily because he beat him.

                      Another big time upset was Lloyd Honeyghan busting up Donald Curry. Curry had the invincible aura at the time and he got slapped.
