A match-up that had you believing without any reservations as to who was going to win, then, bamm, "anything that can go wrong did go wrong" and your pick was dismantled or the victim of a "close your eyes and just hope you hit him where it hurts" miracle KO. For me the two biggest were Douglas' destruction of Tyson (watched in total disbelief) and Iran Barkley's "hale mary" against Thomas Hearns, "please somebody ring the bell already, PLEASE"

I'm ashamed to admit (Big James Toney fan here) that I never saw the Tiberi fight but thank you Santana D for pointing out what I look forward to as being "enlightening" or "shocking" ty

I was able to see the replay of the end of the Briggs KO to win the title and I got to call it as I saw it the round was over and the time keeper never rang the bell. But as my dad used to say (RIP) "it be's that way sometimes". A dispute and request for immediate rematch has been issued already. The Moorer loss to Foreman, that's a subject I have thoughts on but many may not agree so I'll save it for another time, but it did surprise me.

I'd appreciate it if no one handed out thumbs up or down I don't agree with that policy because its flawed and hope YA removes it, thanks to all.

I watched Hagler vs Leonard from my dorm room with a bunch of friends and to this day I still get mad when I think about the Marvelous One's statement that he'd never fight again, Hagler is in my top 3 all-time favorite fighters.

Tyson-Douglas without a doubt!! I was so sure Tyson would KO him in a round or two that i didn't even watch the fight live. I was getting ready to go out with some friends and was had just gotten out of the shower when my upstairs neighbor came racing down and was knocking frantically on my door, i quickly got dressed and answered the door and she came racing in and started screaming "Tyson got knocked out!" and i was in total shock! I thought she was playing at first so i went up to her apartment where she had been watching the fight with her son and her parents and they were showing the replay of the knockout and i just stood there in total disbelief. Luckily, her father had taped the fight and i canceled my plans to go out and her father and i watched the whole fight again. Other fights that shocked me are, Tarver-Jones 2, Terry Norris-John Mugabi, and John Tate-Mike Weaver just to name a few.

When Roy Jones got stopped by Tarver, my face resembled the killer's mask in 'Scream.'
When Leonard took Hagler to school, I felt as if I was in a bad dream.

George Foreman knocking out Michael Moorer to become the oldest champ ever was a shocker to me. Douglas upsetting Tyson really surprised me. Rahman defeating Lewis even though Lewis was the heavy favourite.

Watch the 1992 James Toney vs David Tiberi fight, the outcome will turn your stomach.
Thanks for the question prophet.
