    And if you consider the 90's WBO belt an actual title, Tommy Morrison vs Michael Bentt

    Usyk thoroughly schooled Gassiev in front of his home crowd and utterly dominated him. Chocolatito getting starched by SSR still hurts to think about. Emile Griffith getting steamrolled by Rubin Carter in a single round even if a title wasn't on the line. McGovern demolished a couple champs in his prime, George Dixon in particular. Inoue against anybody. Ioka vs Tanaka. Beterbiev against anybody. Rigo taking Nonito to school. Loma against Walters. Pac vs JMM IV.

    Ali v Liston has to have a mention
    The loud mouth cocky kid shocked the world and made the invincible monster quit on his stool

    I guess I'm being a bit of a douche by acknowledging the Reg title for this example, but, if acknowledged, Wlad-Pov is easily the most humiliating defeat of any champion. Pov just got slow danced man. ****ing sad.

    Chad Dawson being melted in one round by Adonis Stevenson. Why Chad Dawson thought Stevenson was a "tune up" I'll never know.

    Losses are lessons and we turn them into blessings

    L is just a letter and we use them to make ourselves get better

    We don't stay down after defeat we get back up on our feet

    Who gives a toss if you take a loss?

    Is having a glass chin a sin?

    Absolutely :deal:

    Yeah definitely, I imagine it was a huge shock too
    This is why Ali is the greatest Hw for me. He won fights he wasn't supposed to.
