What were some fights where a master boxer was outboxed by his opponent?

I'd say Toney vs. Montel Griffin.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Lamotta out jabbing and out boxing Robinson must have been something to see at ring side.
The best example and the MASTER of doing that will always be Ken Norton. He has that style to completely take away an opponents jab and out jab the jabber. He did it to Ali and Holmes, two of the greatest boxers in the history of the HW division. So awkward, impossible to time with his jerky movements and a really underrated jab of his own.
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.
