Tyson Fury - History isn't kind to the the 4/1 underdog !!!!
A little perspective in over a 100 years of Boxing............
45/1 DOUGLAS ko 10 Tyson
14/1 RAHMAN ko 5 Lewis
10/1 SCHMELLING ko12 Louis
10/1 BRADDOCK W15 Baer
7/1 CLAY ko6 Liston
8/1 SPINKS W15 Ali
6/1 SANDERS ko2 Wlad
6/1 ALI ko8 Foreman
6/1 SPINKS W15 Holmes
4/1 TUNNEY W10 Dempsey
4/1 CORBETT ko21 O'Sullivan
---------------------------------------------------
I make that 11 in a hundred years of Boxing where the title meant something like it does on Saturday....6/11 were committed by HOFers...
Believe it or not Foreman was only 2-1 against when he fought Moorer !!...
Some that come close........
3/1 BERBICK W12 Thomas
12/5 WALCOTT ko7 Charles
12/5 JOHNSON ko15 Jeffries
2/1 FITZ ko14 Corbett
2/1 SCHMELLING W15 Sharkey

Sanders fight was for WBO belt - don't think that belongs here. Lewis was still the champion.

I've added Schmelling v Louis which was non title which doesn't really belong there either...
Louis was all but champ then though so I chucked it in....

Think Lewis was 1-20 but Rahman was 14-1 (just to go all Hammersmith Harrier on you).

Klitschko was something like a 3/1 underdog when he beat Sam Peters for the title.

What were the odds when Moorer dethroned Holyfield? Not far off 4-1 I bet?
