    Thta's the one that came to mind immediately. Marcel is underrated in my book, a match for anyone at 126

    Lol no matter how washed the ATG was?

    Denis Lebedev knocked out Roy Jones Jr and won a decision against James Toney before winning the WBA strap at Cruiserweight.

    Norton beat Ali's ass in 73 then finally won the vacant WBC strap after his bout with Young.

    By the same logic, you could argue that Max Baer beat Max Schmeling, before he won the title.
