Name a fighter who's best win was a loss?

Mayweather lost to Pac, everyone will be happy that he finally fought Pac, even after a loss, Mayweather gained more fans by showing courage.

Im surprised noones mentioned john molinas loss to matthysse

Mauricio Herrera vs Danny Garcia, oh wait!

Does Hearns vs Hagler count? The Hitman had some great wins during his career (including that icing of Duran in 2) but it seems like every time people bring up his name, it's in connection with that Hagler fight, especially the first round. Could make the argument for Frazier too in the thrilla in manila. Most people seem to remember that loss more than his win against Ali the first time they squared up.

I may be hedging a little, but I would say Manny Pacquaio. Pacquaio looked really good in getting KTFO by Marquez in their fourth fight. The way Pacquaio hit that canvas in the sixth round proves that he knows how to take a knockout blow. Also, we all know that Pacquaio was on the verge of KO'ing Marquez when he got KTFO. Even though he had already been knocked down once, we all know that Pacquaio was beating the snot out of Marquez; and if Marquez hadn't KO'd Pacquaio with that lucky punch with one second left in the round, Pacquaio was going to KO Marquez at the bell We all know that when Pacquaio hurts you, he finishes you because he finished Marquez after knocking him down three times in the first round of their first fight and he also finished Algieri after knocking him down six times. Oh, wait a MF minute!!!!!! Pac didn't finish Marquez and Algieri after knocking them down multiple times! I forgot that the first Marquez fight was pre-PacPEDS and the Algieri fight was post PacPEDS. Regardless, Pacquaio won the hearts of hundreds of fans on this site and millions of fans around the world by his brave performance that ended with him lying on the canvas unconscious for five minutes. It's always the angles with PAC! Most people don't realize but I guy that's going to get knocked out face first unconscious isn't going to be able to do it with the grace that fighter if the decade pba all star congressman pacquiao did it .. Because they don't have the footwork or the angles! It takes ATG footwork to trip over someone's foot while getting knocked out... Floydie is done !!!

jose luis ramirez vs pernell whitaker. top that!

Murray and Golovkin. wtf? Not even compararable to the Martinez loss where he was far more competitive and had a legitimate claim at earning the nod.

Castillo losing to Mayweather 1 Marquez losing to Pac 1,2,3. Heredia losing to Garcia Pretty much anytime the outcome isn't what was expected.

Danny Garcia vs Rob Salsa.

Vitali vs lennox May not fight the criteria, but Duran for whatever reason gets tons of praise for hanging with Hagler even though marvin won a comfortable decision Meldrick taylor vs chavez also needs to get mentioned... Taylor will forever be known for that loss..

Malinaggi going twelve rounds with Cotto. It's like a badge of honor for Paulie lol That was cotto's best win.

Murray and Golovkin.

i think sturm's fight with de la hoya was a real big part of his popularity over in germany. if he didnt perform as well as he did, i dont think anyone would have cared about him. if de la hoya won clean with no controversey, they wouldnt have cared about him over there. you also got fighters like emmanuel augustus. those guys that get robbed no matter what. augustus vs courtney burton was so disgusting. like did anyone back then seriously think courtney burton was gonna be the new face of boxing??????

For example, Rulan Provodnikov's loss to Bradley. The guy lost but gained some fame out of it and a title shot.... I may be hedging a little, but I would say Manny Pacquaio.

Tko6 ........ This! That KO humbled Pac, made him focus more on his fights, and gave his documentary a nice story :D It showed us how Pac is able to rise back up and still be a great champion.

Vitali Klitschko is the undisputed champion of this category
