**** i knew there was one i was forgetting! can i change the poll to put that in there?

Out of the ones selected I'd pick Tyson-McBride, though the Hatton-Zoo one is close.

Not to flame you, brother, but those are some ****ty picks as poll options. I think you need to sit down and do this again. You've got Morales there twice in two fights that were expected to be competitive and wouldn't be a surprise if he won OR lost... but you haven't got him against Zaheer Rahim?!!!?

How Taylor-Hopkins I can be considered a major upset when it was a controversial split decision that most thought he'd lost anyway is beyond me. Stuff like Trinidad vs. Wright I can kind of understand, in the sense that it was outrageously one-sided, but UPSET?

Look, sorry if I'm flaming you here, I'm not trying to, but you do know what an UPSET is, right?

I agree with this.......

Another one that should have been in there...

Carlos Maussa vs. Vivian Harris.

The Hatton option is okay as most on here thought he'd lose in the first five rounds, but really by definition an upset has to be when a fighter whom nobody gives a chance in winning pulls off that win.

yeah i know what an upset is but whether it was close or not, Hopkins was expected to win mate. And he lost. And Morales was expected to lose to Pacquiao and expected to beat Barrera. But yeah I ****ed up not putting Morales Raheem in there, thats why i put the post in asking if I can add that on.

**The Wire** · 12-09-2005, 09:44 AM

yeah but Harris was **** anyway, and he fought terribly. I'd say the others are bigger upsets than that cos he was hardly known at all. And no one gave Hatton a chance, even Boxing News had him falling in seven.

I didn't mean to get at ya, brother, I'm just aching my nuts to see Danny's Battle Bus in action tomorrow night.

You can't edit the poll, but it IS a good idea for one. Why not just start all over and let this one die? Have a think about it, let this thread here be used to collect all the suggestions.

People really thought Pacquaio would win??

Oh, here's another (but it's a bit crap): Brewster vs. Golota. In retrospect, it stinks. But at the time I made a packet on Brewster being 5-1 underdog.

yeah fair play me old china. Still love the Williams battle bus thing! He's gonna lose though, unfortunately.
