Douglas over Tyson might be the biggest upset in sports history

[Scott9945]

Douglas-Tyson, and no other fight is even close.

Douglas/Tyson


honorable mention to Neon Leon/Ali as one I considered big.

[Panamaniac]

When it happened, Douglas over Tyson replaced Clay over Liston. Remarkably enough, Ali was involed in some of the most notable upsets in Boxing.



To the best of my knowledge or recollection:

1. Douglas over Tyson*
2. Clay over Liston
3. Schmeling over Louis
4. Ali over Foreman
5. Ali over Liston II
6. Duran over Barkley
7. Duran over Moore

* Arguably the biggest upsets in all of sports.

Forgot to include Spinks and Norton over Ali.

If you go by the listed bettings odds, Liston was 7-1 over Clay/Ali while Baer was 15-1 over Braddock.

Ishida ova Kirkland.

Turpin over Robinson is my pick. Not sure of the official odds, but that's a bigger shocker than Douglas over Tyson to me.

Would Louis over Schmeling count? I don't know who was favorite that night.

Douglas over Tyson for me. Mike was seen as invincible at that point and didn't only one bookies in Nevada have Douglas to win?
