I think its gotta be "Buster" Douglas defeating Tyson. I thought it was just going to be another 1st round KO for Tyson.

What are your opinions?

most definitly, i dont even think there is a fight that compares to the magnitude of that upset. The odds on that fight were higher than any other championship fight in boxing history

I agree with that, Tyson-Douglas.

Joe Louis - Max Schmeling

Tyson - Douglas hands down. Douglas wasn't even supposed to survive the first round let alone win the fight. I remember watching the telecast of the fight live on HBO. I called my friends to tell them the news about the outcome of the fight and they didn't even know the fight took place. It was such a given theat Tyson would knock out Douglas that no one even paid attention to the fight. I was in pure shock for about 3 hours over what I just witnessed. The biggest upset in my lifetime for sure.

Griffin was the favorite, Neuraxis?
