Why are we so quick to give up on our fighters these days? Cotto for example, a great fighter in his prime, fights a FOTY candidate with an inhuman beast in Tony Magarito but loses late on suffering a bust nose early and still showing all the attributes that made him a force in the first place.
Why is it then that many have decided 1 loss into his career he is done!?
Amir Khan an outstanding talent with skills in abundance gets wiped out by a big puncher in the first round very early in his career and again people say he is finished.Could have happened to anybody. Khan clearly dont have a good chin but fighters chins have improved with maturatity before and he is very young, perhaps he can become a defensive genius? He has skills and time on his side. Im not saying he will make it but im not prepared to pronounce him finished just yet!
Fighters of eras gone by all lost and came back time and again, a loss aint the end of the world. In the UFC hardly anybody is unbeaten, they realise u dont need that pretty lookin 0 on the end of ur record to be The Man, the best fight the best and sometimes they lose - no big deal!
