    Who really "Shocked the World"

    Of the major upsets in the boxing world which do you see as the greatest one. Some say Buster V Mike, Lenox V Hassim, or even Roberto V Sugar Ray.
    Me, myself i say of the Old school it would be Gene Tunney V Jack Demspey. My recent upset would be Jones V Tarver

        Even people who arent boxing fans remember where they were when Tyson was knocked out!! Outside of the 1980 USA vs. USSR Olympic hockey match, I think Douglas Tyson is the greatest upset in the history of competitive sports

              Douglas was inspired by the death of his mother!! That tragedy made him focus.. In fact, Bert Sugar said that on that night he thinks Douglas would have beaten any heavyweight that ever existed!! Not that that means anything coming from a man whos never boxed but oh well

                  Douglas Tyson agreed.

                  Ali Liston 1 was considered a big upset if I remembered correctly.

                    That's up there, but Douglas - Tyson is really the biggest.
