      I disagree with Jones-Tarver 2. Many thought Tarver won the first fight. There's no way Jones was favored like Tyson over Douglas.

          Yes it was Tyson Vs. Douglas. the fight was 42-1 odds there have never been odds that big for a heavyweight title fight before or since.

              my biggest upset is leon spinks beating ali after only fighting 7 fights who gets a title shot with a record of 6-0-1.

                Yeah thats definatly a huge upset in boxing history. I loved watching Ali fight, the end of his career was so sad to see.

                    The Larry fight was painful, Ali was making out he had it under control but he was taking a horrible beating, perhaps the worst i have seen in boxing history because it breaks my heart to see that fight. Glens KO of Roy is a most shocking recent upset of mine too. Roy was a great fighter
