Besides the ability to box/fight, almost all of the greats seem to get a gift along the way. Whether it was someone not being able to finish them or a favorable set of cards. I'm thinking of a lot, but I'll just put a few to see if you guys think of the same. As always, apologies to the person who probably did this before me and for my damn lazy hide for not looking! You could argue that some deserve it, and some don't.

May weather v Castillo I
Mosley v ODLH II
Tyson v Ruddock I
Jones v Tarver I (looked gift horse directly in mouth)
