2008 Year of the upsets?

pacquaio could lose

If he loses to JMM, that's still only a minor upset. The first fight was very close and Pac's only a very slight favorite, like a -130.

FFS...

I just watched Hopkins vs. Trinidad today.

Hard to picture Hopkins being a 6 to 1 underdog against Trinidad, what with Tito's best days being at WW and Bernard having such an obvious size advantage over him. Plus with Bernard having 13 title defences over 6 1/2 years already at the time.

I know...

And considering that Hopkins seriously fought close to a perfect fight. He did his usual B-Hop fight, but without the clinching.

It was more like a 3-1 underdog.
