    it would be mosely cracking margarito. cause marg was the the man at WW before he fought mosely and everyone (including me) thought that mosely was gonna lose. plus marg had ALOT of people hyping him after his fight with cotto.


    but the main thing is he got KO'd....never seen that comming

      it'd be between Pac beating DLH & Shane beating Marg

      but they way Marg was hyped up as an indestructible force and they way Shane knocked him out gets my vote

        They are all upsets but the way Pacman destroyed De La Hoya was the more suprising upset. Going up 2 weight classes to outclass a Hall of Famer is special.

          if mosley beat him by a close decision it wouldn't be that crazy but the way he beat him was just crazy

            I actually picked both Bernard and Shane to win their fights. I gotta go with Manny P over DLH. I didn't think Pac had a chance.

              I'm not surprised with Pacman beating De La Hoya since I predicted it and I didn't see it as mismatch at all as some perceived it to be. I wasn't surprised at all with Mosley beating Margarito since I backed Mosley considering he my favourite fighter and I predicted him winning. Hopkins is more of my favourite then is Pavlik even so I don't think it was much of a big surprise so I'd have to say the biggest surprise (although not a mismatch) would have to be Margarito beating Cotto...

                Shane Mosley beating Antonio Margarito because i didnt think he would dominate him like that and knock him out.

                Manny Pacqiuao beat Oscar De La Hoya but lets be real, it was already known that Oscar was old and way out of his prime.

                    To me it was Margarito beating Cotto...Cotto is too versatile to have lost to Margarito who only relies on his relentless pressure and his iron chin...
