Best under-dog win in boxing history???

[ferocity]

Hmmm.....Rahman/Lewis was kind of a bad night for the bookies.

As far as betting fans go, a lot of Hearns fans lost their frikken mortgage on the first Leonard fight.

That sucks. But its tough to see the flaws of your favorite fighter somtimes. I have favorite fighters, but i don't allow myself to not see their errors. Cause if you allow yourself to not see their errors, then when they lose its very shocking. I root for my favorite fighters and i don't like to point out their flaws but every fighter has them.

Besides Douglas KOing Tyson, what do u consider to be the top few best under-dog wins in boxing history.

I'm not talking about combacks or anything... just to clarify.

Jim Braddock was a great story...."Cinderella Man"

Rocky Graziano against Zale...."Somebody Up There Likes Me"

Somebody mentioned Baldomir...that's a good underdog story, too.

Dempsey against Willard...it was a huge upset at the time.

Leon Spinks against Ali....Spinks was a part of the fabled 1976 Olympic team and beat a living legend after just 7 pro fights; he was 6-0-1 when he met Ali for the title.

Lloyd Honeyghan against Donald Curry....the Cobra was undefeated at the time and considered the next Sugar Ray Leonard.



That's all for now; but there are plenty of stories out there.

Of course. I challenge anyone to find a better example of an underdog pulling off the win. Keep in mind, Judah was the undisputed welterweight champ and had obliterated Spinks (who was about #6 on the p4p lists), and Baldomir roughed Judah up IN JUDAH'S HOMETOWN!!!! That's insane when you put it all together.

Are you really surprised that Zab had a mental lapse and lost before the biggest fight of his life? Did you forget who we were talking about here. Zab melting down and losing a big fight is never surprising, I almost even expect it. That is what Zab does. It wasn't all that big of a shock. I would have to go with Douglas knocking out Tyson.

your a ****in disgrace you idiiot the mans gave his all for over 10years and just because he hasnt fought pacquiao yet you call him a chicken

get a ****in grip you dumbass

LOL, I just thought that pic was funny. I got mad respect for Barrera, I don't want to see a rematch with Pacquiao. Barrera's been one of my fave fighters over the last decade, I just really like that pic

How about two British guys, Lloyd Honeyghan vs Donald Curry, and Kirkland Laing vs Roberto Duran.

[JuicyJuice]

Honeyghan's win over Curry for me.

Curry was supposed to be invincible at the time, seen by everybody as the best fighter in the world.

[JuicyJuice]

Don Curry was the epitomiser of 'sharp puncher'.

[JuicyJuice]

But the Ragamuffin Man just went in there and beat him up

Jim Braddock Vs Baer

Spinks Vs Ali

[iron mike tyson]
