What were some fights where a master boxer was outboxed by his opponent?
I'd say Toney vs. Montel Griffin.
Toney out boxed McCallum.Quote:

Was that when he was a middleweight and Robinson a welterweight?Quote:

Hearns was totally outboxing Olympic gold medalist and master boxer SRL.
La Motta and Randy Turpin both outboxed Sugar Ray Robinson at one point. La Motta, like Norton, used unorthodox movement and a stiff jab to get on the inside, and Turpin largely outworked SRR in both of their fights.
Good mention about Toney but when was Judah ever regarded as a " master boxer "? LolQuote:

Pender out boxed Ray back to back also.
Ray was old when he fought Pender?Quote:

Not sure I'd split hairs on that brother. It was really the same Ray that ko'd Fullmer after losing his title and the same Ray that came back to beat Basilio after losing to him. It may not have been the same Ray that throttled Turpin in the rematch and he took a long time off after Maxim but he was still pretty good when Paul beat him twice.
Ray Leonard outboxed Wilfred Benitez.
Also Tommy Hearns outboxed Ray Leonard Twice, and also put on a great performance in out boxing Virgil Hill who was a masterful boxer too
