Biggest disparity between a fighter's best win and their overall ranking

With the talk of Bowe, who has 2 atg wins but some dispute over his own status even in the top 20, I'm wondering, who scored a win that was most out of proportion with their all time ranking? So this is presumably from guys who otherwise had thin resumes

Schmeling has a KO over most people's #1 or 2 yet probably doesn't appear in their top 20

I responded to this thread in British and Irish. Those responses aren't here in "history." Thus my question.

Randy Turpin beat SRR
Oliver McCall and Hashim Rahman both beat Lennox neither of them would rank top 100 heavyweights

I'd say both would be top 100, still not a bad answer. Corrie Sanders isn't top 100.

They are different threads on the same question, as I mentioned in the other, I started one in the Brit section too because this one can be slower

Ross Purrity
Frankie Randall
James Braddock
Vince Phillips
I'd throw in Ralph Jones, but that would just remind me of that moron Kalan.

Randall would kick Chavez ass 8 days a week.

How about Willy Wise then?
All I recall was that Randall seemed to win pretty clearly and yet only eked out a split decision. Just think, just one point the other way and his deserving win would have been nothing more than a historical footnote draw.
Don't you have Chavez in your top 50? Even top 30? Is this more about Randall being really good?
Anyway, Ross Purrity is my real submission.

The King/Chavez ref Richard Steele deducted one if not two points from JCC for low blows - possibly to atone for the accusations of bias and corruption in favour of Chavez. Ironically, without Steele, Randall would have lost on points! Would have been an all-time horror of a verdict.

Chavez might be in my top 50, if not, close to it. I remember Randall fighting Rosario in the UK for some reason, he got hosed there too. Chavez was a great fighter, sucked he came with a referee and judges on the payroll. He was no Erik Morales.
