  • Chinny fighters who were underdog and upset their more powerful opponent?

    Douglas had lost by KO 3x before facing and upsetting undefeated and heavily favored Tyson by KO. But Douglas wasn't exactly as chinny as Jacobs, since he was stopped late in his 2 stoppage defeats before Tyson, Jacobs seems to get dropped/stopped early.

    Help, I can't think of any more.

    Khan decisioned Maidana, but Khan was favored.

    Trying to see an example of how someone in Jacobs shoes upset the odds in the past.

    Not "chinny". but the weaker puncher outboxing the harder hitter:

    Bradley/Ruslan
    Fury/Wlad
    JMM/Katsidis
    Floyd/Pacquiao
    Lara/Canelo
    ODLH/Trinidad
    Jackson/Jeffries

      Jacobs is not chinny. He got caught by the perfect shot from Pirog and has a tendency to leave himself open while swining when his opponent is in trouble.

        Who were underdog...and being chinny is very important, or else it really defeats the purpose.

        Bradley was neither chinny or underdog.

        JMM has never been KO'ed and wasn't underdog vs Katsidis.

        Floyd was favored to Pac.

        In DLH v Trinidad neither fighter were chinny, Trinidad was underdog but it was a classic robbery.

        Canelo was favored to beat Lara. Neither was chinny.

        In Fury-Wlad, that's a little difficult. Wlad is the guy known as chinny and he lost, and he was favored.

          I think it's widely accepted by the majority of fans and experts that Jacobs is chinny. We're past that. I'm sure many fighters have been "caught" by leaving themselves opened and didn't get dropped/KO'ed e.g. Mayweather-Mosley, most of Paul Williams 147 fights (no ****s given for defense), Margarito.

                  Bingo!

                  That's a good mention. Kirkland post Ishida debacle too.

                  Lee-Korobov, Korobov was untested. Campillo-Williams Jr, Williams Jr has 3 losses, all by stoppage so idk about that one.

                  But Kirkland-Angulo is a damn good mention. That was that Anne Wolfe regimen that held him up.

                    Algieri was unknown, I don't remember people feeling he's chinny?
