    Do you prefer to follow top boxers with losses

    I feel like losses usually say a fighter is tested. This isn’t always the case. It’s rare for an undefeated fighter to have a good/decent resume. Mayweather, Calzaghe, Marciano are exceptions. But usually 0’s mean you haven’t fought anyone who is considered a very good boxer. Tyson Fury is another boxer who is undefeated and actually has a good resume.

    But I like watching guys who has losses though. Like Canelo, Joshua, Wilder, Lomachenko, but have shown they can beat elites.

    I prefer to watch people in their ups and downs, we're all people, it's interesting to watch how they evolve and then suddenly fall

      fighters with 0 loses are puussies.. afraid to lose their 0. leads to cherrypickings and duckings.. not good for boxing tbh.

        I'd say I do , right now one of the fighters i'm most looking forward to coming back from defeat is Verdejo . He had a great interview on the deplaymaker Youtube channel , if he ever puts it all together and finally gets over the hump to win a World Title it'll be very satisfying to watch .

          Yes! I'd add Jean Pascal to the list. Maybe he didn't beat elites but he beat some very good fighters and showed he can be competitive

            Also I like guys who have multiple losses, not just the names you mentioned who only lost once or twice. People who you know for sure have zero fear of getting in the ring with dangerous guys like Smith, Pascal, Trout, Lara, Povetkin, Carlos Takam, Glowacki, just to name a few.

              I prefer to follow fighters that are good. Having losses doesn't mean you've been tested, see: 97G and Loma. Both overrated as ****, neither took any risks, both make excuses like a ***** when they lose.

                  Not one of the deciding factors.

                    Weird question. I follow and watch top boxers regardless of their wins or losses. As everyone knows a loss isn't the end of the world, being undefeated also doesn't mean weak resume.
