    Who were the greatest fighters that ever got beaten, on the day that they got beaten?

    By logical extension, who gets the honours for beating them?

    Hmmm.

    How about Bivins decisioning Charles? That's a proper candidate.

    Aren't you like 16?

    Anyways, I still don't understand what the thread is asking. We're getting all kinds of different answers. Do you mean who put up the greatest effort in a losing performance, provided the fighters in question were elite? Or do you mean which fighters lost at more or less the peak of their career?
