After outboxing world heavyweight champion Joe Louis for twelve rounds in their first bout in 1941, light-heavyweight champion Billy Conn got a bit overconfident, and went after Louis in round 13, at which point Louis promptly knocked Conn unconscious, ending his title bid.
After the fight, Conn asked Louis: "Joe, why did you have to do that? You could have just let me win the title. I'd just hold on to it for six months and then I'd let you win it back."
Louis, looking quizzically at Conn, replied: "You had it for twelve rounds, and you couldn't keep it. How the hell were you going to keep it for six months?"
