    Who has performed more upsets in boxing history?

    The reason for this thread is because I'm 1-3 against Manny Pacquiao. He's cleaned me out. I am never betting against Manny again.

    Name a fighter who's had the most upset wins in boxing history.

    Good question. I don't know, but I'll start with Bernard Hopkins. He was an underdog against Felix Trinidad, Antonio Tarver, Winky Wright and Kelly Pavlik.

        I would have never thought of Bernard but most pick him to lose against Tito and Pavlik. Nice one.

          He's not an all time great, but John Ruiz beat many fighters he wasn't supposed to and many people are still upset about it.

            Holyfield should get a mention.

            The 1st Tyson fight was an epic upset, the odds were against him in the Bowe rematch having just lost to Bowe, he took on Dwight Muhammad Qawi, a seasoned champ, in his 12th fight...

            the success of his HW career in general could be counted as one massive upset, seeing as how he was small for the division

                I agree with Hopkins and Ali deserves a mention - Liston and Foreman.

                    yet he needed the headbutt to assure a decision win over the former 154 lber at 170.
