Biggest Upset Of All Time

[JTRaines92]

In all of sports, what do you think is? I gotta go with this...



That's James "Buster" Douglas knocking out the then unified world heavyweight champion "Iron" Mike Tyson in 1990. I believe Tyson is the greatest boxer of all time but if Cus D'Amato would have been alive during his entire career and he never met Robin Givens, his reign on top would have been far longer and people would think he's the GoAT too.

Now, what's your pick?

Wasn't it pretty well known that the going into that fight Tyson wasn't training nearly as hard as he should've been?

It is said to be US beats USSR in the 1980 olympics.

I'll take the Giants over the Pats in the super bowl personally.

Never forget...:s:

This right here, mainly because of just the stark difference in resources, player pool, etc.

Only time ever has a top 5 team went unranked the following week, too.

[FedEx227]

It's an upset if a FCS team beat USF, but to beat out MICHIGAN, a top 5 team... that's unprecedented.

Gotta throw in two big MMA upsets, probably the two biggest ever:

Serra upsets GSP


Werdum submits Fedor

I agree with Mike Tyson/Buster Douglas as #1.

My number two: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Super_Bowl

Serra/GSP was a massive upset but in a sport like MMA the upsets are just too often/likely to be put in a category with other sports.
