    Everyone gets a little caught up with the exciting guys sometimes. What are some legendary schoolings given out to feared, murderous punchers. Derailings of a hype train. Chins being shattered by guys perceived as weak. Mind over power? Any good ones? Post a picture of said schoolings.

    i'd say that works for me. its more than just a victory, it's a breaking of a perception, and the exposing of limitations

    Not really done by a boxer, but Don King's when Don King arranged for jeff Fenech to get a draw with Azumah Nelson, it absolutely shattered Jeff Fenechs aura of invincibility in his own mind, and he disintegrated as a fighter from there with brutal KO losses to Nelson, Grove and Haliday.
