    After that impressive KO from Tua, Ruiz actually went on to become a two time titlist whilst David only challenged for one and that was it.

    So question is are there any more cases in boxing like this, where a guy beaten conclusively actually goes on to be the more successful ?

    Eusebio Pedroza getting knocked out by Alfonso Zamora in 2 rounds but later ends up becoming a long reigning Featherweight champ.

    Emile Griffith also had a stronger career even after getting stopped by Ruben Carter in one round.

    I peeped into the future: I saw Frazer Clarke win the WBA belt twice while Fabio Wardley is still a contender.

    Back to the past: Cleveland Williams stopped Ernie Terrell in 1942. Terrell became a titlist, Williams finished his career titleless.

    Medgoen Singsurat stopped Manny Pacquiao in three rounds in 1999 to win the vacant WBC flyweight title. This was his only title. Pacquiao won in eight divisions.

    Jack Dempsey was KOed in one round by Fireman Jim Flynn in one round in 1917. Flynn could never capture a title whereas Jack ruled the heavyweight division for a long time.

    Perhaps this could help:

    Did Jack Dempsey Take a Dive?

    Wilfredo Vasquez got sparked out by big punchers a few times before the run he's known for today.

    Michael Watson spanking Nigel Benn.
    Watson came tragically close to beating Eubank whilst Benn went on to win two version a world title.

    "Hercules " Mike Weaver
    Pedroza was the very 1st boxer to pop in my head . So great minds think alike lol.
    So since u beat me to Pedroza, I'll go with "Hercules "Mike Weaver.
    Who's was 20 wins with 9 losses , some were ko losses , the night he caught lightning in a bottle and K'oed John Tate and won the WBA Heavyweight Championship.
