    Whats the greatest losing performance you have ever seen?

    Not a controversial loss, a bout when you know said boxer has been beaten but has gained a great deal from that loss...reputation, etc...allowing said boxer to go on to greater fights despite the loss. :good

    Recently Yuri Foreman's loss against Cotto.
    Not the greatest ever, but it earned him a lot of respect.
