Best Losing Performance?

[Ruthless-RKO]

We've seen many fights where a boxer has put in a memorable and top performance, only to lose a fight..

Name some good ones..

Let's try and avoid the obvious robbery ones.. (Pac-Bradley / Pac-Horn etc.. )

[Onetimeonly]

Leonard vs Duran, took a vicious beating and won the last two rounds. Easily in his top 5 best performances.

[Ruthless-RKO]

A recent one.. Donaire losing effort against Inoue.

Wlad vs. AJ

[NoScoutingReports]

Thought TJ Doheny against Daniel Roman was a spirited effort, TJ looked in serious trouble after the 2nd knockdown but showed great heart to hear the final bell in a tough war, underrated fight.

Klitschko vs Lewis, Norton vs Holmes, Duran vs Hagler, Duran vs Sims, Chisora vs Whyte.
