Wow, we got a good discussion going here. There are so many ways to view his first defeat:

Chronogically - Higuma

First opponent defeat - Smoker (goddamn, Loguetown arc was totally erased from my memory!)

Tricked and trapped - Nami (into Buggy's cage), Arlong, Buggy

Technical lose - Coby (THE punch!)

I think we could also include his spar with Ace (and the boy with the missing tooth) somewhere in here as well!
