      Bernard Hopkins definitely. As said already Holyfield was an underdog his entire heavyweight career, Pac always seems to win fights he shouldn't though he'll probably never be an underdog ever again.

        I would have to do some research on this one BUT James J. Braddock was the underdog in consecutive bouts against Corn Griffin, John Henry Lewis, Art Lasky and Max Baer, and he won them all.

          Name a fighter who's had the most upset wins in boxing history.
          I bet on Manny against de la Hoya, Hatton and Cotto. I don't really consider those upsets. It's hard for a great fighter to have many upsets.

          In the last 40 years I would have to say Muhammad Ali. He had two major upsets: Liston and Foreman.

              Wright was -150 in that fight, not a huge favorite, but one nonetheless.

                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
                This guy is the classic overachiever. A Cruiserweight who arguably could be considered one of the top 10 or 20 greatest heavyweights ever.

                  Damn, yeah. This guy accomplished more than most "the next great heavyweight" prospects. Don King is the best promoter/magician of all time.

                    Bob Satterfield deserves a mention.
