OK has your favorite fighter ever been the underdog in your eyes?

And still won the fight. Have you ever went into a night of fights just knowing that your favorite fighter was going to lose and then he won?

For me when Pac beat ODH. I was sure just like the rest of the world that ODH was going to kill Pac.

Leonard vs Hagler. Ray dug deep and did it.

NO HE DIDNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!

Let's just say I made enough to pay off half of my car when Holyfield beat Tyson in the first fight. My greatest gambling triumph ever.

I really thought Finito was going to be in trouble in the second Bufalo Alvarez fight.

EVERYBODY thought Foreman was going to kill Ali.

Soonermark, my fav. fighter has always been the underdog in my eyes, even if he's a 15 -1 favorite.There's always the fear that he'll get beat. I think that's human nature. If not, at least it is for me.

That's what I call a smart bet. The only thing could get me to Vegas back then was Foreman - Tyson (I bet on Foreman)

I always think my guy is going to win. Just like I think Green will KO Ward.

Kelly Pavlik when he fought jermaine taylor the first time

Yeah I thought JT would kill everyone after BHOP.

i still disagree w/ those decisions over hop to a point but you know i always contradict that by saying hop did just enough to lose both those and the fight w/ calzaghe

As a kid, I always got nervous when Ray Leonard fought. I guess behavior is pattern forming. When Manny fights, I'll admit to a little anxiety.

Sooner, I'm going with Green against everybody. You've talked about this guy too much for me to believe he isn't something special.

Yeah in my eyes he is undefeated and with that power he could KO Ward in a hurry. I think people will be shocked very soon.

whenever theres a very competitive fight on the surface involving one of your favorites i think its almost normal to have some doubt which may be interpeted as fear...

floyd vs corrales....chico was a machine at that time...didnt expect floyd to beat him, nevermind beat him that badly

I was worried about that one too.

Was Floyd the underdog in that fight? Anyways my favorite that was an underdog and won was B-Hop against Felix Trinidad. No 1 gave him a shot pretty much including me either.

I like how B-Hop took his purse and bet it on himself. LOL
That is letting people know you are going to win.

Yeah he showed a ton of balls doing that with his own paycheck LOL.

I know he won a butt load of money.

I was ALWAYS confident and CERTAIN that Evander Holyfield would KO Mike Tyson from WWWAAAAYYYYYY back in the late 80's. When the opening bell rang though, I was suddenly filled with doubt and fear. It was a crazy feeling, I was over reacting to every thing that Tyson was doing.
