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

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.

Supprised nobody has mentioned Randy Turpin.
His win over Sugar Ray Robinson is proboly the best win for any British fight of all time.
