Is losing a fight overrated?

[genialus75]

No, the undefeated fighters are the greatest. Especially when they have the resume of a Floyd Mayweather Jr

so that does mean if joan guzman's career ended today, he will be ranked greater than roy jones, bernard hopkins and pernell whitaker?

[Crazylegs77]

Floyd Mayweather Jr did both, that's why he's an ATG.

Mayweather could have been a real ATG but he chose $$ over boxing greatness. Gatti, Baldomir, an Old DLH anyone? He screwed up an played it safe late in his career rather than face the best.

Last time I checked Floyd is an all time great. Top 40-50 fighters of all time if u ask me...Wins over prime Corrales, Castillo twice, Judah,G.Hernandez...5 titles in 5 weightclasses. Not a legend but he's a HOFer.

0 Loses in Boxing is the most over-hyped thing in all of sports..It all depends on level of compeititon and willing to face the best....Any fool with the right management and protection can end up undefeated...SRL,Ali,Robinson,Duran,Hearns,and Hagler all lost why? cuz they fought the best not running around dodging the best looking for silly non important belts that don't mean anything. No excuses of fanbases etc just wanting to prove there worth and that is what is missing from Boxing today!

[haploid]

depends on whose the object. for real boxing fans, the resume and how the fight concluded win or lose is more important.

for nuthuggers and haters, it'll be underrated or overrated.

[Great Afrikan]

apart from Rocky Marciano, all the great fighters had a loss on their records.

And no, the list doesn't include Floyd and Joe....

I honestly hope this statement was a joke

Of course it's overrated. You lose some and you wins some.
