    Hatton v Pacquaio too, just for the sheer brutality and ease that Pacquaio beat him with.
    Funny, neither of those were shocks to me.

    That's the great thing about boxing, for every major shock, there's someone out there who saw it coming despite no one else seeing it.

    I remember that the vast majority thought Margarito would stop Mosley. Only thing that shocked me about that fight was the stoppage. I expected Mosley to win a one sided decision.

    Hatton-Pacquaio I thought was a dead cert to be over in 6 rounds or less and not in a nice way for Hatton. One punch KO maybe not, but a painful stoppage none the less.

    Hopkins-Trinidad, I expected a painful night for Hopkins and so did most. Instead, we know what happened. And I remeber a small handful seeing it coming despite how foolish I thought they were.

          On a real note, Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 wasn't shocking. Anyone who believed Marquez when he said he was going for the knockout saw that one coming.
          Marquez said he same thing in the build up o the third fight. You might say you weren't shocked but every sensible person was. Marquez had shown he could outbox Pacquiao in he first three fights but in 36 previous rounds JMM never came close to stopping Manny or showing us that he was capable of doing so.

              Molinares vs Starling was a punch clearly after the bell! You were shocked with a punch asfter the bell?

              The shocker was Spinks vs Ali 1 even an Ali out of shape got the shock of his life! The continuation was shocking too because Leon had him ready to be stopped in the rematch! It should have been the end for Ali. Ray.

                Why does it matter if the punch was after the bell?

                It was still shocking that Starling was knocked out in such a way.

                      I was pretty shocked at the outcome of Froch vs. Abraham. I did not expect Froch to utterly sodomize Abraham the way he did.

                      The way Williams got flattened by Martinez in bout 2 was also shocking.

                      How about Kirkland vs. Angulo? That was insane! I did not expect the back and forth and multiple knock downs that the fight provided.
