    It's a debatable point, but I think Morales losing to a guy who'd beaten him once anyway isn't as big a shock to the boxing world as a guy who looked like a ****** winning a major title belt. Just because Harris isn't that well known does that make it any less of a shock? Yeah, he fought like ****, but that doesn't make the upset any less. Tyson fought like **** against McBride, it's still a major upset in the status quo.

    And I agree about Hatton, I said that.

      You another Limey? That why I asked if you knew what an upset was... I didn't mean to be patronising, I just thought you were a Yankee and would have trouble understanding.

        I don't think any of those were big upsets at all.

              Yeah, sorry man, I didn't mean to put the boot in.

              Seriously, just let this one die off and start a new one.

              You wanna talk embarrassment? Search for my November 12th thread asking what time Ruiz-Valuev starts. I just got the same reply about fifty times over: "I don't know, but it's not for another four weeks, dumbass!"

                the only fight on that list I didn't pick correctly was Tszyu vs. Hatton. I don't think any of those fights are really upsets other than that.

                Morales-Raheem was the only big upset that comes to mind.

                    How is Taylor vs Hopkins I an upset, Taylor was favorite if I remember correctly and it was nearly split here.
