    Who is the originator of that non sense?

    Naseem Hamed dominated the 126 division for years.

    If it wasn't for boxing org politics he would have held all 4 major titles.

    Because he didn't beat Barrera in a rematch or bounced back from his loss , few on here ever rate him as highly as he deserved.

      That dude is one of the greatest and hardest hitting Feather weights of all time. Naseem was a beast he just ran into a monstrous Barerra. I hate that logic. Cotto aint bounced back officially and I still rate him high.

        How you react to defeat says a lot about character. Some guys lose their 0 and become shells of their former self. It's a lot harder to pick yourself up and get better.



        Did someone mention hamed? Weird?

          It's the idea that greatness is defined by adversity. Which is a paradox if you really think about it.

                  The myth was created by losers essentially. Bouncing back from defeat is a sign of character but so it fighting with the pressure of your first defeat in every fight.
