Upset of 2005

[Diablo]

Mausa KO Harris. KT/Hatton fight sent shockwaves through boxing but Hatton was a prized prospect with known talent and skill. Maussa is a joke and prior to the fight lots of people were on Harris's nuts and claiming his fight against Maussa was just gonna be a showcase of Harris's skill and to get him in the spotlight.


remember BIGGEST UPSET, not the most important upset

I picked the Ouma loss, BTW.

I see you added a poll. Now I'm thinking this is a gag thread with "Lacy over Reid" as a selection.

I shouldn't have wasted my time replying...

I was thinking exactly the same, Lacy was a huge favourite going into that fight.

I'd say Harris vs Maussa, that was a big shock!!

But Hatton vs Tszyu was a big upset for many people, nearly everyone i spoke too thought Tszyu would butcher him within a couple of rounds.

Maussa over Harris because he was the biggest dog out of all the fights.

I picked Hatton because of the way the fight was. He battered the champ and took his belt.

Taylor got the decision, but it was weak...

i still dont think that hatton/tszyu was that big of a shock, i had my su****ion that hatton would pull it out. besides, the whole UK though hatton would win. i dont think it was an upset for them.

I had Maussa vs. Harris. Didn't know enough about Kassim Ouma to include that... I'd probably have had Hatton as my second choice.

McBride was a fair upset, but it was bound to happen to Tyson eventually. I don't consider the Lacy or Mayweather fights "upsets", and Hopkins has also been asking for it for many years now. That was more inevitable than anything.

Might not qualify as an "upset", but I was shocked to see Golota get bombed out three times in a minute by Brewster.

And I guess Ruiz losing the title... then getting it back again was upsetting.
