Sharkey over Ali

The biggest upset probably just happened in my universe (March 1954), where Tom Sharkey (rated 8) defeated Muhammad Ali (rated 15) for the IBF Heavyweight Title. Ali was making his first title defense after beating Rocky Marciano. Ali was cut early in the 1st over the eye and the ref stopped the fight in the 3rd due to cuts.
