Revisionist Biggest Upset of all Time?

[Fox McCloud]

I'd like to respectfully flip the script. What fight was PERCEIVED to be a big upset at the time, but in retrospect, was not.

JUdah vs Baldomir

People acted like baldomir was some sucker just because we never heard of him. But then he destroyed Gatti, and went 12 rounds with each Mayweather and Forrest.

That Baldomir kid is no joke. You can't hurt him.

Forrest-Mosley
Wright-Mosley
Wright-Trinidad
Hopkins-Trinidad
Holyfield-Tyson

I cannot believe that Mayorga has given Forrest his only two losses in professional boxing.

** I can. Forrest may seem a stud to you, but he was a meal for Mayorga. The best don't always win in boxing, and Mayorga was just too strong, too tough, too hungry, and too willing to get into Forrest's face with real hurt. Happens all the time.

The worst official upset in history is Leon Spinks beating Ali. Only one Vegas bookmaker would take bets, so the odds were off the chart. Think about it, with all the gift decisions swinging Ali's way, you'd have to be a fool without insider info to bet on Leon. Little Leon, nothing before, and nothing since, just a 15 min slice of the sun in eternal time. You know there was no way they would either let him or he would be able to hold on to the belt.

Forrest Mayorga nails it

Easily Tyson-Douglas,when a guy is viewed as invincible as he was then thats a huge upset. It even gets ranked high in the highest upsets ever by ESPN. Douglas was known to not liking to train and coming in overweight.So many saw it as a easy win. Tyson's had problems even before Douglas,he was going threw alot of problems around the time he fought Spinks,so that was a huge factor to fans or the press.
