I don't know why boxing is like this. Only one team in the history of the NFL has finished with an undefeated season. No NBA, MLB or NHL teams have ever finished a season undefeated. Even somebody like Tiger Woods doesn't win every single tournament he's in.
But in boxing, once you lose, your considered damaged goods/leftovers/shot/washed up, etc. No other professional sports have this mindset.

I honestly believe it's because the majority of fighters rely on their fanbase to secure fights. The more popular you are, the more money you bring in, the more other fighters want to fight you for money.
As soon as you lose, you lose your momentum. It's usually 3-6 months between fights, where your fans lose interest and find other fighters to follow. Without that fan base to bring in money - you're strapped to find yourself a meaning fight. Hence - the rut that Khan and other fighters find themselves in after a loss.
