whats harder to comeback from?

[MuckMuck]

Yea, Kessler was so devastated by Ward's dominance that he came back in his next fight and beat an undefeated champion for the title.

[McFearless]

lol.....overrating ward much?....

no.
you're not understanding my point.
i even brought up another fight and you still dont see it..

[Russian Crushin]

There should be nothing hard about recoving from a Ward defeat.

If you cant recover from that, you wont recover from anything

The only hard thing about recovering from a Ward fight is the scar tissue you will have after fighting him

[chiguy91]

i say 12 rounds beatings...the fighter who gets ko'ed either didn't have his hands up and let himself get caught or was given the perfect shot with the perfect timing. it does sometimes break someone's chin, but i would say it's just a matter of mental strength to get over it, tighten up your defense, and move on. 12 round beatings just show that you were outclassed. next fight you have to study the bad habits you did and how to improve (whether it be countering, defense, punches, etc) and study the next opponent. it takes physical and mental strength to comeback from a 12 round beating. both are bad, but i'd say 12 round beating is a bit harder to overcome....

lol i didnt necessarily mean Wards opponents, just the way they lost.
I guess that was a bad example
but think Barrera-Hamed, Hopkins-Pascal etc

Only the weak minded shouldnt be able to recover from that Barrera or that Hopkins loss

THey were barely defeated and all the great fighters easily comeback from that kind of loss

Harder to come back from 12 round beating.


Lacy was never the same after the Calzaghe fight for a reason.

Look at Khan, Lennox etc. You can come back from 1 punch KO's.

[sdcluser]

a nasty one punch KO? like Paul Williams, Danny Jacobs, Fernando Montiel

or a beating over 12 rounds? like all of Ward's recent opponents lol

what do you guys think

Nasty one punch is easier to recover PROVIDED that you ARE COMPLETELY KTFO and don't remember anything.

Yeah you're right
But those guys aren't exactly known for having a chin. But they knew they had skill to bring them back up but maybe for someone like pwill and hatton who relied on having a good chin and to be clocked like that... Idk might.make you real shy.
that said I hope the punisher comes back stronger

[jjbj2]

its more of mental thing
imagine being undefeated knocking fools out and this guy comes along whoops your ass over 12 rounds, not necessarily hurting you bad physically.
think Hamed vs Barrera... oh nvm that was before Pac came up.

Hamed wasn't broken mentally. I think having that ****** September 11 messed him up mentally than losing a boxing match. If you think about the time Hamed lost in 2001 at New Jersey, USA that 5 months later two planes collided against the Twin Towers. Imagine a ****** boxer like him witnessing something so catastrophic and next think of his image/swag in the ring praising Allah, Islam, and being a ****** those things are all asking for trouble back in those days.

I honestly believe he retired in fear of his children and wife because of the "kill all the ******s" mentality raging on the Western society especially the U.S. and in default the U.K. being an ally as well. And lucky he wasn't a Pakistani but a Lebanese. Look where they found Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.

****** people will believe Hamed was broken down because of one loss but it wasn't that probably be because of what happened during those years. And as a person who lived in New York City in Queens - Guyanese, Indians, Pakistanis, or any Indian looking person did not go outside their houses much or packed the streets like they usually did. I remember taxis were hard to get because every Indian looking or ****** person were afraid of what would happen next. My classmates didn't even go to school for the whole week.

Yea, some people here were to young to remember some of the events that occurred 10 years ago. Also, this coming September 11th, 2011 marks the 10th Anniversary of that terrible day.
