Which losses enhanced a fighter's legacy?

[jas]

In boxing history, "honourable losses" or "special losses" are sometimes given more credit than wins. it may even be controversial decisions.

e.g. frazier - ali in thrilla in manilla.

that fight did more for fraziers legacy than his wins over fellow hall of fame fighters jimmy ellis and bob foster
