    I thought Adonis Stevenson's KO1 win over Dawson was great until he started fighting low-tier opponents.

                    From my time and what I remember live:

                    Buster Douglas win over Tyson was huge, I was still a young kid, but I remember the fight when he won he was a hero, dude had like 30 thousand people for his victory celebration when he came back, but he got soft and enjoyed the instant fame and got whooped. 15 minutes of fame. It was like this mythical beast got conquered.

                    Currently it was Pacquiao vs De La Hoya, everyone who saw Pacquiao fell in love with him after that fight, it was weird really it was like Pacmania, huge underdog only like 3 or 4 people picked him to win out of 100 boxing analysts. It was like David vs Goliath

                    If Khan can beat Caneo it could have a huge impact as well, that would be one of the greatest upsets and feats in all of boxing to be honest, especially how weak Khans chin is if he can survive and win.

                    on a smaller scale Barreras win over Prince Naseem Hamed for the boxing world it was huge, everyone loved seeing Hamed humbled hard.
