The first Billy Conn fight for sure, as Louis had to come on to win the fight, behind in points and needing a KO to win. But not the second Louis vs Conn fight, as Conn after 4 years of chips and beer, was just a shell of his former self, and Louis won easy like a walk in the park,not even close.

Max Schmeling, Billy Conn.
To be honest, all of them were magical in their own way. Louis was a genius.
