    This was my first thought.

    But considering what each loser went on to accomplish after the loss, you'd have to put Frazier's win over Buster's.

    Tyson was exposed that night, whereas Ali just got beat, even though he was still going to end up being the greatest.

    It's definitely up there.

    He battered Ali for those 15 rounds, showed immense heart and managed to knock Ali down with a brutal left hook.

    He beat Ali up real bad, and some say Ali had it coming with all the uncle tom talk.

    This. Plus the height disparity was a great disadvantage for Joe. And he put Ali mostly on the defensive after the fourth round. And Joe landed that left hook all night, and I didn't see him hurt at any time.

    I'd go with Louis/Schmeling II as well. Historically the biggest fight ever.
