How about Terry Downes v Sugar Ray Robinson? Although at the end of his career, Sugar Ray was still 149-11-3 at the time.

Calzaghe Lacy, i know Lacy isn’t half the name some of the others are I.e. Robinson, Curry etc but the manner of the win which should have been stopped in the 10th onwards btw was such a dominant performance
