Mike Tyson's first Amateur loss was to Ernie Bennett in November of 1981 at the Junior Olympic Heavyweight Championship in Rhode Island.

Mike Tyson's first professional loss was to James "Buster" Douglass in February of 1990 in Tokyo Japan. This has been marked as the biggest surprise upset in the history of boxing and all of the sports world.

Larry Holmes beat Muhammad Ali when Ali did not leave his corner at the start of the 11th round on October 2 1980. It was classed as a "corner retirement." Except for that loss Muhammad Ali was never stopped in the ring.
