Best losing efforts by a fighter...

I agree with most of the posters that said Meldrick Taylor v. Chavez. Sad that he didn't get that W. Damn Richard Steele!!!!!!

My vote would be for any fight Gatti lost or... castillo v. corrales I Agreed Gatti lost some hard fought losing battles. Arguello vs. Pryor Hearns vs Hagler Most of Penalosa fights. Choi chung Ill vs Navarette. that guy could not breath because both his nose are clogged with blood and still went on to get knocked out.

I thought Klitschko vs Lewis was a pretty good effort too. That was gonna be my answer as well.

Good thread, I was actually just thinking this the other day, and a few fights people mentioned i haven't seen.... it'll give me some boxing to watch while i wait for things to heat up later this month. I thought Klitschko vs Lewis was a pretty good effort too.

Philip N'dou vs Floyd Mayweather Jesus Chavez vs Floyd Mayweather Miguel Espino vs Kelly Pavlik Thomas Hearns vs Marvin Hagler Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran I anyone who gets koed by pussy boy is a disgrace.

hopkins has never lost a fight fact.

bernard hopkins vs jermain taylor X2

dirrell vs froch martinez vs williams

how can i forget pea against oscar? pea was really really way past it & there were times in that fight when oscar looked like a fumbling giant there trying to swat a fly... pea was really a master...

Meldrick Taylor Chavez I Holyfield vs Bowe II McCallum vs Toney I,II (even though I know I was a draw) I don't know man, I think Holyfield went through much more than Bowe did in their first fight.

Taylor vs Chaves 1 Ali vs Frazier 3 Bowe vs Holyfield 1 I'm sure there are many more.

Can't name one better than anyone else, Frazier could have been ten seconds or so from Ali quitting in their third fight, Castillo looked like he was going to put Corrales down, their are fights guys lose that most thought they won, can't name just one.

Prescott VS Khan I honestly thought Khan was going home on a stretcher. Then the idiot kept getting up without taking a knee. Shit, thats balls man. It's not the best losing performance, i know that but IMO it's worth a shout. :boxing:

maybe not the best example but I thought katsidis gave casamayor all he could handle and more. That's one of my favorite fights of relatively recent times and I find myself watching it every now and then. They were both game as hell that night.

bradley vs peterson

My vote would be for any fight Gatti lost or... castillo v. corrales I good thread man... very refreshing amidst all these blood testing fiasco we have... with regards to ur question, well I guess alexis arguello's losing efforts against pryor... then iran barkley's display against duran... and this I recently read... some pinoy named bernard docusen losing to ray robinson... I wish I can give u a link but im too lazy...
