How big would the upset be???

[shadeyfizzle]

Just, for the hell of it, assume Marquez pulls off the upset... at 4:1 odds thats HUGE

the question is, when was the last upset bigger than that??? would it be Tyson v Douglas (32:1 or something like that), God knows there arent any upsets bigger than that... but would this be a close second?? would it be upset of the decade???


EDIT:

would it be bigger than Pacquiao over Oscar????

In your eyes??

IMO the upset would remove Floyd from the fighter of the decade discussion entirely and place Marquez right smack dab in the middle. With a very justifiable case for him being the front runner in it.

Hopkins was a 6 to 1 underdog against Tito and a 4 to 1 dog against Pavlik I think.

Pacquiao was a 24 to 1 underdog against Barrera

[SOPH~ REP.]

It kinda hard to say cuz has been inactive, didn't have a tune up either ,rust and struggling in weight,you have weigh in those factors into this equation

[hammerhiem]

As big as Pac beating ODLH.

At least.

It would be the biggest fluke ever. The gap between Floyd and Marquez > the gap between Tyson and Douglas. In other words, it ain't going to happen.

Douglas only won that fight on the long count anyway.

That whole "long count" theory has been proven to be bull**** time and time again. Next time ; please, use some common fucking sense and state a genuine opinion of your own, not bull**** theories and hyperbole.

Thanks.

no way is it BIGGER than tyson v douglas..... that was ****in 35:1

42:1 to be exact.

But that was just the general betting odds in Vegas. Truth be told the only people in the world that night that felt like Buster could do it were Buster, his trainer, and his family.

Found this on Pavlik vs hopkins

"The fight is at a catch-weight of 170 pounds. Pavlik is a natural middleweight coming up in class, fighting Hopkins, who the heavier weight-class favors," said Chuck Esposito, Assistant Vice President of Race & Sports Book Operations at Caesars Palace. "Hopkins is a very unorthodox fighter, very elusive and tough to hit. This may be the toughest fight of Pavlik's career. The early action has been on Pavlik. He has been bet up from roughly a 3 1/2 - 1 favorite to the current odds of a 5 -1 favorite."

personnally i didn't give pavlik much of a chance.

[Joe2608]

that means 24/7 is working....

that **** makes 99% of the people out there think ANYONE has a chance....

**** fools me even sometimes

It happens before most fights, especially big ones. People get the nerves and start to think what if? and can the underdog can really pull it off?
It's just the week of the fight excitement. Any other time before that and people would just say who they think is the logical winner.

There is no way in hell a Marquez upset would be bigger than Douglas/Tyson. It'd be plenty big....but no way is it that big.

Floyd is....to borrow a statement made by Manny Pacquiao "he's good. But he's not THAT good"

I couldn't believe so many fools on here were picking Pavlikkk by stoppage. If Calzaghe could barley hit a Hopkins with a thyroid infection clean how could this limited Brawler land more than a few shots on Hopkins was my thought. I was expecting a Hopkins UD, not very wide though, since I thought Pavlik would be much more busy.

I never said it would be anything near Tyson/Douglas.

I was merely pointing out the fact that that poster was spewing senseless garbage that's been disproven time and time again about the "long count".

Marquez beating Mayweather would be right on par with Pacquiao beating Oscar, I'd say.

And if he knocked him out it'd be even bigger, I think. Due to the fact that Oscar had been defeated and KO'd before, while Floyd has never tasted either.
