    Kostya gave the match to Hatton he retire i think it was in the 10th round when he even was in front on points agains Hatton.
    So i wouldnt call an upset.

    Zab and Baldy was an upset that i predict and my first ever boxing predication why it not as big upset as Tyson vs Dogluas because Baldy was unbeaten in 19 fights and for nearly more than 3 years. so I wouldnt think he will lose all that work for loss in front of Zab even though Zab fooled around.

    But here is the truth about boxing:
    " Fighters are build in training not during a fight."

      I'm not talking about combacks or anything... just to clarify.
      pac was 7-1 underdog when he demolished barrera for 11 rounds

        Beyond a doubt, it was Buster Douglas' KO of Mike Tyson in 1990. It was uncanny, a 42-1 underdog KO'ing a heavyweight champ thought to be unbeatable. Its not very often that happens.

        Notable mentions:
        Ali-Liston I (Seems foolish now, but back then it was a huge upset)
        Lewis-Rahman I
        Junior Jones-Barrera: Styles make fights
        Jersey Joe Walcott-Ezzard Charles II (Charles whipped him the first 2 times, then Walcott wasted him with one shot)
        Foreman-Moorer: "The odds on the fight were 2-1, but in my mind, they were a gazillion to one that Foreman could regain the title at age 45." -Larry Merchant
        Ray Leonard-Marvin Hagler
        Pacquiao-Barrera: I was the only person in my town picking him to win, and was the only one celebrating that night )
        Holyfield-Tyson: Don't know why, I never count out Holyfield, except for now)
        Iran Barkley-Tommy Hearns: Barkley shows that tough guy **** can get you if you're a weak chinned sunamagun
        Kostya Tszyu-Vince Phillips: Just when people were getting excited, he gets KO'ed. Came back better, but he was cant miss stuff.

          Actually, Walcott beat Charles in their third fight.

              I also picked Pacquiao to KO Barrera as I had been a Pac fan since I saw him on the Lewis-Tyson undercard. We were going nuts at my house. I predicted Pacquiao to KO Barrera in 12 so I was going wild.

                LOL, everyone thought I was crazy cuz I told everyone Barrera's in for the beating of his life. I had seen Pacquiao many times before, I knew for a fact he was a mentally tough guy who hit alot harder than Morales. Say what you want about Barrera's skill level, he is and always will be a catcher. I knew he couldnt hang with Pacquiao in a fight.

                  Hope Barrera mans up for a rematch. Pacquiao deserves the big payday

                      What about Sambu Kalambay over Herol Bomber Graham? Sambu looked awful in his previous fight and Bomber was supposed to be invincible,Hagler vacated the WBA title rather than fight Bomber and Bomber had already signed to fight Iran Barkley for the world title with Kalambay just being used a safe warm-up fight. Sambu looked crazy good that night,though,I mean real real real good.
