What is the most suprising upset in the history of boxing?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Douglass-Tyson has to be number one as far as odds are concerned.

A notable fight I considered an upset and saw live in Memphis was Glen Johnson's knockout of Roy Jones. I doubt very many people saw that coming. I know I didn't.

Odds wise from what I've read, Duran-Leonard I was not a huge upset but when it happened, most people were surprised. They definitely counted the smaller, older man out.

I don't the odds for the first Chavez-Randal fight either, but that was big. Randal wasn't much of a name and never was a great fighter IMO. Chavez got very surprised in the eleventh round.

There was also Willy Salazar beating the eye off of Danny Romero. I was a Romero fan at the time and was very shocked.

Another upset over Chavez, by Willy Wise. Was shocked by that and definitely a little depressed.

The most recent that I can think of that I enjoyed the most was Maidana over Broner. That was one upset that I was pleased with.

I think Douglas vs Tyson, and Foreman vs Moorer have to be at the top of this list.

Foreman-Moorer! That's a good one. I forgot about that one. That would have to be my favorite upset ever.

Norton-Ali 1. Frazier-Foreman 1, but -preception- I was really young..
Douglas Vs Tyson I question them 42-1 odds. Braddock-Baer was 10 to 1. Did the measurement change over time? I think their is a VERY GOOD CHANCE that Braddock-Baer 10 to 1 and Douglas-Tyson 42 to 1 need real look/ see. A comprehensive study. Don't know if we will ever be able to truly compare.
Curry-Honeyghan of course! ^ ^ you all have brought every fight I bring.
