    IMO, Maussa beat Harris.

    i never saw that one coming...
    I agree, Harris was expected to win easily.

        whatt!!!
        are you serious?
        maybe some hardcore gatti fans and floyd haters said that gatti could win, but even most gatti fans i know were saying that they were pulling for gatti, but floyd would probably win.
        "my heart is with gatti but my head is with floyd" is just one of the many quotes i heard.
        many more people believed floyd would win that gatti

            Yepp I agree. Harris was a 12 to 1 favorite to win the fight. However, who still remembers Harris after the fight. He is a nobody now. Everyone is laughing at the belt because Moussa is a joke and so was Harris. Doesn't seem to be an upset when you put two B class fighters to fight each other which it ended up being but we just didn't know about it at the time.

              people consider buster douglas a joke now. and people still think his victory over tyson was the biggest upset in history. the same could be said about maussa/harris. regardless of how good the fighters are or were, every1 pegged harris to win.

                    5 years from now people will still be talking about Ricky Hatton victory over Tszyu, who is going to be talking about Moussa and Harris. Give me a break.
