Ali to Frazier in '71. Though Ali came off a 3-year layoff, he was only 29, still undefeated and had 2 tuneup fights so he was still prime best at that time.

Ray Leonard to Duran in 1980. Leonard made the mistake of going toe-to-toe with Duran.

Hearns to Leonard in '81.

Gerard Mclellan - the fighter to beat up Jones in the Olympic tryouts but was cheated and didn't get to go. He lost 3x.

Terry Norris got KO'd by Julian Jackson R2

James Toney lost to Jones Jr.

Michelle Tyson lost to Buster

Minny Buckyao lost a few times.

etc etc

Tommy Hearns to Ray Leanord

Tyson was very much in his prime when he got KO'd by Douglas , he didn't train and believed his own hype , and was banged out

Joe Louis when he lost to Schmeling in 1936.

Mike Tyson when he lost to Buster Douglas.

Jimmy Wilde when he lost to Pancho Villa

George Foreman when he lost to Muhammad Ali

Joe Frazier when he lost to George Foreman

Sugar Ray Robinson when he lost to Jake LaMotta.

Wilfredo Gomez whe he lost to Salvador Sanchez

Jose Napoles when he lost to Billy Backus (1st fight)

Ruben Olivares when he lost to Chucho Castillo

Roy Jones lost to Griffin in his absolute best but that's a DQ hitting Montell when the latter was hanging on the ropes. i mean pure loss bros. The Tyson that lost to douglas was never prime cuz i believe Prime Tyson was pre 1988
