    What were some fights where a top fighter lost to a less-skilled opponent because he was all wrong for him stylistically?

    Hearns vs Duran, long powerful arms vs a shorter come forward fighter, never a good thing for a little brawler, in the same way Foreman v Frazier he could always land his big punches first and Frazier had to navigate those deadly blows constantly just to get a few in, it also finished in the second round like the Hearns mismatch. Ali always had problems with Norton Ken`s jab was the key in the first fight and Ali`s weight. Pep v Sandler, again the much longer reach bothering the shorter brilliant Pep.

    Tszyu vs Judah

    Kostya kept it simple and caught Judah clowning around.

    But Tszyu was a clever puncher and Judah always failed at the highest level.

    Jones vs Toney and B-Hop.
    Hearns vs Duran.
    Liston vs Patterson.
    Norton vs Ali.

    But those were highly skilled fighters, for less ACCOMPLISHED boxers you have.
    Marquez vs Pac
    Jones vs Barrera
    Griffith vs Toney
    Raheem vs Morales
    Forrest vs Mosley
    Mayorga vs Forrest
