Fighters who were great for only one fight?

I mean guys like Hatton and Barry McGuigan who beat all time great champions but never been as great as they were on that one night.

I give Hatton as an example as he my prove to be a great fihter in the future.

Jimmy Young did that against Ali with Ali getting one of the worst decisions ever.

Its 3rd in Bert Sugars 100 worst decisions.

Jimmy Young wasn't actually that good in the Muhammad Ali fight, nor was Muhammad Ali, but Jimmy Young did deserve the decision against Muhammad Ali.

He fought great against George Foreman and comeback from a bad round 7, to knockdown big George Foreman down on the last round with a mixture of great boxing from Jimmy Young, mixed in with a bit of aggression great performance.

John Mugabi in the Hagler fight...Yeah he lost but he gave it too Marvin like no one else and 95% of the other guys out there would have folded from the exchanges long before Mugabi did

Iran Barkley in his 1st fight against Hearns....
