I'm paraphrasing: "My three losses, if I could take those back I wouldn't. They made me who I am today, a better fighter and a better person."
There are TONS of examples in boxing where guys suffer early career losses that make them better (hopkins, Klitschko, Donaire, etc.). Likewise there are a ton of guys who are undefeated for many years, and when they finally lose they completely fall off (Pavlik, Trinidad, etc.).
I've always been a believer that in most case scenarios, an early loss is a good thing. There are of course exceptions to the rule like Floyd Mayweather or I'm sure some young guy with a lot of talent just gets blasted and never recovers (maybe a guy like Jaidon Codrington or someone like that could have been something).
