It would rank in the Top 10 for sure.
Up there with Ali beating Foreman in 74'. Ali was only a 3-1 underdog, but hardly anyone thought Ali was going to win that fight. Foreman looked like the greatest thing ever and was killing everyone. Also, up there with Ali beating Liston in 64'. Liston, like Foreman would do later on, was killing everyone. Ali was a 8-1 underdog and was given no shot by anyone.
Schmeling beating Louis was pretty big as well. As was Braddock beating Max Baer when he did. Douglas over Tyson was the biggest ever though.
My Top 5 upsets:
1. Douglas over Tyson
Though tyson had problems in his personal life, no one thought the 42-1 underdog Bust Douglas would beat Tyson, not in a million years. Tyson was a run comparable to what Sonny Liston was doing before he lost to Ali, was looking unbeatable. It was the biggest upset ever.
2. Ali over Liston
No one thought Ali would win. Liston was coming off killing everyone. He had destroyed Floyd Patterson, no one thought Ali would win. He was an 8-1 underdog, part of what made Ali the greatest.
3. Braddock over Baer
Braddock was pretty much a no name. Had lost like 2/3 of his last 30 fights, won a couple in a row and fought Baer. He was a 10-1 underdog, and Baer was suppose to kill him. Baer had just beaten Schmeling, it was a huge upset.
4. Ali over Foreman
Though Ali was only a 3-1 underdog, hardly anyone thought Ali had a chance to beat Foreman. After seeing Foreman kill Norton and Frazier, who Ali had split fights with at the time, everyone thought Foreman would kill Ali. It was another thing that made Ali a legend and the greatest.
5. Turpin over Robinson
Robinson had only lost 1 fight in like 100 something fights, was seen as the best boxer ever. No one thought Turpin would beat Sugar Ray, no one.
Schmeling beating Louis and Sanders beating Wlad were also big upsets as well.
Chisora beating Vitali would probably rank right up there.Last edited by 4Corners; 02-17-2012, 01:45 PM. -
I honestly wouldn't have it a great great upset because a). Chisora won his last bout in what I thought was clear fashion against a top, or somewhat top fighter b). on that note, he has good overall skills and size and c). Vitali is 40 years old and its bound to happen one of these daysComment

What about Foreman over Moorer?It would rank in the Top 10 for sure.

Really low. Vitali is 40 years old. As a matter of fact, Vitali should get extra props if he wins because the number of boxers that are successful at that age is under 10. I'm talking Foreman, Moore, Hopkins....that's all I can think of.Comment

I don't agree with the people who say it wouldn't be a great upset because of Vitali's age. Vitali has only been in one physically tough fight and has kept himself in very good condition in and out of the ring. Age does eventually catch up with everyone, but in this case Vitali is fitter than most other heavyweights out there. He is not going to become THAT much worse overnight. He might slow down a little bit. But he is so far ahead of other heavyweights he can drop 5 or 10 percent and it still won't make any difference.Comment

Pretty damn high. Whoever ends the first Klitschkos reign will go down and history. Not to mention Vital is ten times the badass then his fragile boring ass brother.Comment
