Legitimate Upset Champions?

[The Troll]

I think he's not implying that.

If you think ALI doest deserve the props being given to him would you care to explain why?

What are the "props" you are speaking too?

[The Troll]

i think ali was not only a great champ, his charisma brought many more fans to the sport......

Ali was hated like hell until the 70's. Maybe the most hated Heavyweight Champion in history, crowds bood him like nobody else during the 60's.

"Implication" and its variats are the overused word of the day.

I had forgotten about Ali (Clay) and the huge upset over Liston. The Baldomir over Judah win was more along the lines of the type of upset I was looking for: where the challenger was a not only the underdog, but fairly unknown as well (Douglas, Baldomir). Thanks for the replies.
