Fighters who lost their debut but became elite afterwards

Sweet Pea lost his first 3 or 4 (cant remember) amateur fights.

yeah i guess, but it still astounds me why anyone would pay to see him fight...or why he is rated so high with losses to calzaghe and jermaine taylor, and overrated wins against smaller fighters I both agree and disagree, his best wins are against smaller fighters and when he fought good fighters his own size like Jones and Calzaghe he was beat but i still was really impressed when he moved up in weight and beat Tarver and when he beat an undefeated Pavlik even if Pavlik also was a smaller man and Tarver might have been drained.

Yeah but he could do it so why not do it. yeah i guess, but it still astounds me why anyone would pay to see him fight...or why he is rated so high with losses to calzaghe and jermaine taylor, and overrated wins against smaller fighters

only reason hopkins became elite is because he scaled down two divisions from lightheavy.... Yeah but he could do it so why not do it.

Do you guys know of any? The only one I can think of is Bernard Hopkins. only reason hopkins became elite is because he scaled down two divisions from lightheavy....

Henry Armstrong The Marquez brothers

Give Charlie Z some time......

Nonito donaire lost his 1st bout then quit, after a while of pondering returned as a better boxer I believe that was his second fight. Although I could be wrong.
