1 loss and your "damaged goods" WTF is wrong with people?

[Tyson2k7]

Why do people do that? It makes no sense to me at all. I can give examples but just take any elite fighter who lost his 0.

ah thankyou u read my mind

[ThePunchingBag]

It's just a ridiculous belief that your first loss is always the hardest to swallow and will consequentially show in your next fights. For some fighters that "0" is like the fire in their belly that tells them they're invincible and when that fire gets put out it's just never the same.

not only are you damaged you are a bum,gatekeeper, has been and many other things. your only as good as your last fight as far as the fans are concerned.

Thats the one thing I can say that MMA has over Boxing..

there is no protecting records or glorifying undefeated fighters..they ALL fight each other!!

it's a harsh sport...it's pretty funny seeing people call Cotto a shot fighter, even after he beats an elite fighter like Clottey...I don't get it

[screwhead1]

last i checked...it was all about how you come back from that loss...in cotto's case...he's just a shell of what he was...sorry...

Don't you agree that Clottey has the style to make anybody look bad though?

Prime example of the purpose of this thread..

how's he a shell?..

He demolished Jennings the way he was suppose to..and dropped Clottey..and fought 9rds with a HUGE GASH over his eye..

won a tough fight against a HUGE Welterweight..how's that make him a shell?
