    Ali wasn’t exactly in his prime vs Frazier.

    Roy’s win over Toney was better than his win over B-Hop too.

    Ali beating Foreman is definitely up there, especially considering that Ali was past his prime at that point.

    I’d say Leonard beating a prime and undefeated Hearns and Duran beating a prime and undefeated Leonard both have to be up there.

            Ali-Foreman Leonard-Hearns1 Duran-Leonard1 for me also including jus like one of u guys said Douglas-Tyson even tho its considered in the top upsets category in any sport for that matter. Even tho Douglas wasn't considered a contender even by himself an his own dam family, that fight goes down as a significant moment in sports not jus boxing since Tyson was on top of the world a dam sports icon looking back at it now

              Historic, but not a great win. Jeffries was fat and retired for over 5 years.

                I have to say Robert Duran beating Sugar Ray Leonard and it was a hell of a fight

                  Douglas Vs Tyson...
                  Tyson was an absolute mythical god at that time. A legend. not a soul in the world thought Douglas could win.
                  Buster thoroughly outboxed and stood and traded with Tyson and beat his ass every round before finally knocking him out.

                    Leonard was not p4p number one at the time. As a matter of fact, I'm sure Duran was rated higher at the time. Great win though.
