Simon Brown was schooled early in his career by Marlon Starling. He was a great champion back in the '80's. Terry Norris got slaughtered by Julian Jackson. He then went on to a great career and even defeating Sugar Ray Leonard. Joe Louis got beat by Max Schmeling when he was younger and we all know that story...

Max Baer was thoroughly schooled and whipped by an older but cagier Tommy Loughran. Loughran would later become a mentor to Baer, who would later become heavyweight champion of the world.

Steve Collins losing to Mike McCallum is he best example I can come up with.

I wouldn't say Azumah Nelson was "schooled" by Salvador Sanchez, but he did lose while a very green guy and then went on to true greatness.

[Mintcar923]

Larry Holmes was schooled by Muhammad Ali through sparring if that counts. Vitali Klitschko was beaten by Lennox Lewis. Yes, I think Lewis would have still won if the fight hadn't been stopped when it was.

When it comes to ATG's you have to look no further than Joe Louis and his first bout with Max Schmeling.
