why in boxing as soon as somone lose

[Da Truth 35]

So true everybody is saying roy is done cmon the guy was the top dog in boxing for a decade come on not everybody can win fights at such a age after the age of 35 i mean yeah holyfield is coming back and hopkins is one of the top pund for pund but look at Ali yeah he got exposed against holmes and some people say he suck but what about in his prime canr say nothing about that same as Roy so good point there about what you saying

[Allucard]

everyone wants to say their finished?
If mayweather gets koed in his next
fight im 100% sure everyone will be
saying he is done he is finished
hes been exposed all that bull****.

Ray Robison lost 19 times. was he
exposed? was he done? this is a win
lose draw sport. there is always a
chance of you winning losing or draw to
your opponent. sometimes no contest.

people ask and say Vic is done because he got
koed. they say hes been exposed. WHAT?
any real boxer or fan of the sport can see
VIC made many mistakes everytime he fought.
you jus got a guy that was able to execute his
plan and win. that doesnt mean vic is done it
jus mean he lost. im pretty sure many of his past
oppnents had the same gameplan but couldnt
execute it.

when wlad lost to corrie sanders people are so
quick to say he was done he got exposed glass
jaw. because he got caught and was put down.
this is boxing you get hit sometimes your brain
reacts the way you dont want to.

everyone wants to say roy is done. because he 3 times
twice to tarver and once to glen johnson. 2 by ko.
well when your fighting since your age was single digits
and your pund for pound for 10 years winning titles in 4
weight classes and you rely on your talent when you
get older your bound to lose.

roy lost the second fight with tarver because he got
caught with a monster punch plain n simple. he lost
his 3rd fight with tarver and his fight with glen because
mentally he never recorverd from that ko.

sometimes a boxer jus has your number and can beat you.
that doesnt mean your done and exposed and should retire.
you just cant beat or have a hard time with that guy.
a boxer is done when mentaly he cant win a fight. if roy
cant be old roy mentally tough and confident in his skills
then yes he is done. if vic cant get back in there with the
same mentality that he had undefeated then he is done.

It depends when it happens. Great fighters will have a chance to retire usually after performing badly in 2 last wins by UD, showing they should retire. They don't, the money is too good for an undefeated fighter so they get picked by a top contender who's team already smelled the blood in the water sort to speak. Repeat.

well as much as thats true, there is different ways to loose.
for example, loosing a close decition it doesnt mean you are over, getting ko'ed in the last rounds its not bad either, but getting dominated like that is a bit worse than that. non the less there was this kid who got KTFO by two unknowns, and has had a successful career after that (yeah im talking about MAnny P)

i agree... good post

[KingTito]

losses happen, it's a part of the sport, whether u're not in the right condition, someone just had the better fight that fight, or if u just got caught with a good punch... it doesn't mean u're done, fighters bounce back, they still have good fights to offer, think of all the fighters who've lost and still provided great and successful fights, come on, don't jump to conclusions now... u can get beat one night and still be a great champ, plus, that's y they have rematches, hardly any great fighters retire undefeated, but they're still great, whether it's late in their career or not

Sugar Ray Robinson probably was robbed in some of his losses just for the fact that he was black and probably had white judges.

Actually he lost most his fights at the end of his career!!!

As for vic being done and exposed IMO i think he can comeback!!! He has the power to stop anyone in this division but he should work on his boxing skills!!!

[Sandro17]

Maybe its because when a boxer reaches a certain age and they lose people think that they're past their prime.

I'm pretty sure that if Cotto loses at age 34 people would say that hes done.

People also tend to look at the last performance and imagine that the next time the boxer fights he'll be 2x as good or 2x as bad as their last fight.

Yeah we all know Naseem is still p4p #1

[squealpiggy]

Darchynian wasm't exposed. Everyone knew he was wild and often rushed in with his hands down. He wasn't exposed, but his weakness was exploited.

[boxingfan4life]

I agree with you 100 percent. Its nice to know that there are actually people out there that understand the sport of boxing.
