By Cliff Rold - Old timers regularly point out that too much is made in Boxing of single losses these days. When Nonito Donaire knocked Vic Darchinyan cold last year, there were those who declared him ‘exposed,’ even ‘overrated.’ [details]

This has been a nice read. A single loss is a single loss, nothing more or nothing less. Boxing has its own value of win and defeat which is far greater than that of the other sports such as baseball though. But I just remembered Anthony Mundine's word. He said in the interview after the fight with Crazy Kim, who sent him into the canvas, that "All the greats have been knocked down." This couldn't be truer when you replace "knocked down" with "defeated." Darchinyan came back from a loss; So will Mijares I believe.
