Who created the myth that you have to bounce back from Defeat or a KO/KD to be great?

      I don't think it was a "monstrous" Barrera that time, I think it was a combination of Hamed losing confidence, and,of course his couple of weeks training, which waorked well for his other opponents, did not work at all for Barrera. Hamed wss definitely well below his usual that night, the only question I can't answer is....whether it was because of Barrera, or because of himself.

              it means he's fighting a bunch of bums or mismatches.

                How is that a bad match up for Miguel? Because he's a boxer? Were Quintana, Magginilini, and Judah not boxers? They all got trashed by Cotto. Cotto will stop him. The only person that's going to be a bad match up for Miguel is anybody who can hit hard enough and frequently enough to put doubt in his head.

                  Is that the quote your thinking of?

                  Anyway, bouncing back isn't what makes you great. It's just what makes great stories.
