    All 3 challenged Ali for the heavyweight title - after having lost their last fight.

    Alfredo Evangelista is the only other boxer, who challenged Ali coming off a loss... so our 3 men are "almost" the only ones who share this.

    I had to hold back on Alfredo, as that would have been too easy.
    But Muhammad Ali, I think, is the only world champion in history to
    fight 4 fighters who had a loss in their previous fight, while challenging for a world title.

    Yeah, I figured this was the reason, why you didn't include Evangelista.
