    I was think about Fitzsimmons beating Corbett. I wonder how many other examples there are. Can you think of many that weren't won by KO?

    Dlck Tiger won the lightheavyweight title from the bigger, faster and harder hitting Jose Torres in 1966 and in the following year successfully defended against Torres...beating him twice.

    This is a harder question than I thought....

    Orlin Norris beat Page by decsion
    Leon Spinks beat Ali except Ali was garbage by then
    Maybe Hopkins beating Tarver

    Who was bigger AND faster than Greb? Serious inquiry because I've always been under the impression that Greb was described as llightning--fast.

    Frazier. Duran. Chavez.
    Actually it's a great win to beat someone both bigger and faster. Extremely hard to do

    The point of the thread is to find decision wins.
