Greatest losing performance you've ever seen?

    Surely Castillo's losing effort against Corrales in the first fight merits a mention?

    In fact, even though Chico won, I do believe more lasting damage was suffered by him than Castillo!

    Also, what about Tracy Harris Patterson's two losing efforts against Gatti?

    Golota both fights with Bowe and then title shot with Lewis.Unfortunately it was to early for Andrew, although Lennox would be always to early:))

    For sheer drama,
    Gatti/Ward I
    Holyfield/Bowe I, II

    For boxing master class,
    Hearns/Leonard I
    Taylor/Chavez I

    I think you're confusing THP with Ivan Robinson.

    Maybe not the 'greatest' but certainly worthy of a mention;

    Conteh v Saad Muhammad I

    a recent shocking losing performance that springs to mind was ODH against PAC,
    PAC made it look easy...
