    You don't truly know if a fighter is great until he loses.

    A measure of one's greatness is his ability to come back after defeat.

    You don't truly know a fighter until he loses and has to come back from that loss.

    Some of our favorite fighters, after suffering their first crushing defeat were never able to rebound and return to the championship form we were accustomed to seeing.

    All-time greats give plenty of examples of fighters rebounding, coming back from losses to emerge victorious.

    Case in point, we don't yet truly know if Floyd Mayweather Jr is as great as he say he is and we won't truly know until he loses.

          Not true....

          A fighter is great if he keeps fighting fight that's risky and he keeps winning, he doesn't have to lose.

                When Floyd lose he will do the Nassim Hamed exit, only much worst.

                  It is true, the day you see Mayweather lose it will be interesting to see how he bounces back...other great fighters have already lost to nobodies like Pacquiao did...if Mayweather could bounce back from a loss would make for an interesting day...the guy is almost 35, and he has carried his zero his entire career...I would wager he goes into overdrive and starts fighting 3-4 times a year if he ever loses...
