it depends on how you lose. sometimes losses only stays on your record but you win the fans & media's respect & admiration.
Rafael marquez lost to izzy vasquez 2x but both fighters clearly won the fans, media, & both gained in stature because of those fights win or lose.
Same thing with tommy hearns losing to ray leonard & marvin hagler. Same thing with erik morales losing to marco antonio barerra, same thing with joe frazier losing to ali, same thing with alexis arguello losing to aaron pryor & same thing with other countless fights that fighters lost but the fact that they fought great opposition & put up a great fight they all gained something more endearing & eternally meaningful than high ppv numbers & high rated 24/7 shows.Last edited by DonTaseMeBrah; 03-13-2010, 12:45 PM.Comment

Floyd was helped extremely by the popularity of Hatton and Oscar. Floyd wasnt a draw at all until Oscar introduced him to everyone. I hope he thanked Oscar.Comment
