True, but Khan and Juanma lost to guys who were top 10 at their weight, Ishida was a NOBODY. Plus, you gotta be honest with yourself, Ishida knocking Kirkland out was the single most shocking moment of the year...Pretty spot on. Upset of the year is the only questionable one.....because Kirkland was still coming off of that prison stint and it's not like he was looking great.
I guess the fashion in which he lost made it a huge upset. But someone like Amir Khan or Juanma Lopez who were legit like P4P top 10(arguably) guys at the time they lost is more significant to me.Comment

Right, that's why I said the fashion in which he lost(getting KO'd in the 1st by a feather fisted journeyman) is why it was so shocking, not that he lost. Lopez and Khan just them losing, in any fashion, were big upsets.
But I can definitely see Kirkland....was just playing devils advocate really.Comment
