    Joe Louis vs Schmeling is quite obvious. Any more examples?

    Lewis did it twice, most emphatically against Rahman.

    Yes, but he wasn't KO'd cold vs McCall. Actually, I think it's better the ref stopped the fight as Lennox could've suffered few more KD's, and his ability to take punch would've worsened.

    Okay, but regardless, he's still on this list.

    Max Baer went on a lengthy winning streak after Louis KO'd him.

    After Norton's loss to Foreman, he didn't decisively lose a fight until Shavers five years later.

    Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Patterson had the best parts of their careers after a stoppage loss.
