Whats the best win in boxing history?

[E-Thug]

Seriously hard question.

Top of my head I'd probably go with Duran over Leonard.

But like you said Ali-Liston and Ali-Foreman were total shockers. No one gave him a chance in either.

Near enough read my head man. The top 4 IMO are

Ali V Foreman
Frazier V Ali 1
Duran V Leonard
Ali V Liston 1

Tyson /Douglas

Dont really view that as a great win, thats when tyson started declining and parting/doing coke before fights. He wasnt the monster tyson anymore.

Duran beating SRL is up there. Ali beating Frazier and Foreman is up there as well.

I'm trying to think of a win more recently that could be viewed in that same light and I'm struggling.

[TheBigLug]

Long before my time but i agree with Duran beating Leonard and Ali beating Foreman and Liston, but i'm only basing that on what i've seen and read.

The Ali ones are the first that spring to mind though because there's a lot of footage out there that we have all seen many times of people giving him no chance before the fight.

In recent years, Joshua VS Klitschko.

Of all time, probably Ali VS Foreman.

Ali Vs Foreman
Very inspiring

I agree that it's probably Ali vs Foreman. People were actually worried about Ali's health going into that one, and it was extremely impressive. Duran/Leonard was a great win too, but rightly or wrongly it's overshadowed by Duran quitting in the rematch. Leonard/Hagler is up there too but that's very debatable as a lot of people (including myself) still think Marvin should have won to this day.

Randy Turpin beating Sugar Ray Robinson when he was 128-1 is up there as well. As is Salvador Sanchez knocking out Wilfredo "Bazooka" Gomez who was 32-0-0 with 32 knockouts at the time. Pernell Whitaker outboxing JC Chavez the way he did was very impressive too even though they robbed him and called it a draw.

My friend Douglas was a 31 to 1 underdog if that is not a great win than the sky isn't blue after all.

Tyson /Douglas

This is the biggest upset in a big fight I'm aware of. Douglas was like a 42-1 dog at the sportsbooks that even offered lines for the fight. Douglas wasn't even considered a serious contender to most boxing fans & hadn't much of a history to get excited about that most would think he'd be capable of this sorta greatness.
