    I think Tarver vs Jones 1 was a big upset, shame the judges scored it the wrong way!!

          James "Buster" Douglas' 10th round KO of the seemingly invincible Mike Tyson was boxings biggest upset in my opinion. In my lifetime:

          Hopkins KO10 Trinidad
          Forrest W12 Mosley
          Tarver KO2 Jones Jr.
          Jones KO5 Barrera
          Holyfield KO11 Tyson

                Moorer vs Foreman, because of Foreman's age and the destruction of Holyfield that Moorer took part in months earlier.

                Holyfield vs Tyson ranks up there pretty high.

                  Lots of good ones named. What were the odds of Ali-Liston I? How about Leonard-Hagler?

                  Obviously Douglass-Tyson was a huge upset.

                  I wish I new more about boxing history. I bet there were upsets that are even more shocking than Tyson-Douglass.

                      Most boxing historians disagree. Douglas' win is the concensus choice.
