fmb15291 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 who was the biggest underdog in history? and why do u think so??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyGonzo Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Does this include other sports? Or does this just apply to wrestling? If we are talking about all historical upsets, than I would say James 'Buster' Douglas knocking out previously Unbeaten Champion Mike Tyson as a 42 to1 underdog. This would definently be near the top of the ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soup45 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I am also a hockey fanatic along with wrestling but I must saythat the US Olympic Team in 1980 is my pick for the biggest upset. A bunch of 18-22 year old college kids from different teams put together for 6mo and shocked the world beating not only the Russians but Czechs Fins and tied the Sweeds For the first Olympic Gold medal since 1960 in hockey when they once again beat the Russians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat them in the Semi-finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinedad Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 And living in Indy, I would be remiss to not mention the Jets over the Colts in SB III, thats all we heard about last week.
