      Both good lists, the only one I can think of to add off the top of my head is James Braddock vs Max Baer

        I was shocked when Tarver KO Jones Jr. and even more shocked when Johnson did it.

            braddock/baer wasnt really an upset. baer was a joker and an entertainer and didnt really have the drive to stay champion, a trait not shared by james braddock.

            sure you could call it an upset, but i dont think it belongs in the "biggest upsets" list.

                I can't think of anything to add to it, but yes Douglas over Tyson should top the list because Douglas is 1:51 underdog in that fight.

                  1:51 ?! I bet someone retired off the money they made from betting on Douglas.
