What are the Biggest "giant slayings" in boxing?

[baracuda]

Umm...again....Ali-Foreman is the greatest giant slaying of all time.

ali was a giant himself........

I agree. How could it be a giant slaying when Delahoya weighed less?

Maybe because when you talk about giants, you usually are referring to one's height and not the weight. If he just weighed more and looked fat then he'll just be referred to simply as Arreola.

The operative words are ``GIANT SLAYING``. There were Dempsey and Willard.....Louis and Carnera...... Louis and Buddy Baer.....Barrett and Tye Fields (one of the most authentic).......Sam Langford and Harry Wills.....Sam Langford and Gunboat Smith.......... AND

The Barbados Demon, the ORIGINAL JOE WALCOTT, who, being only about 5 feet tall, was a ``giant killer`` against everybody he knocked out.

There are more, but enough is enough!

Martinez-Pavlik? Jones-Ruiz?

Ummmm again...If using metaphor is meant, then The defeat of Tyson by Buster Douglas was the greatest `giant-killing`in boxing history. I wouldn`t be surprised if some bookmakers ``ended it all`` by jumping out of skysc****r windows .....a la 1929 stockbrokers.
