I don't think people do mean losses when the say 'exposed'. If they do, they shouldn't. Nobody claims JMM or Hopkins have been exposed, and they have like, what, 10 losses between them?
Exposed should be reserved for the hype jobs, the next big thing in the division, who then gets taken apart by someone they were expected to beat.
There have been a few of those.
They don't even have to be taken apart, they can lose a close fight and we still read the obnoxious "exposed" threads.
I think the only fighters who are genuinely exposed are those haven't actually beaten anyone good and due to having previously been protected against weak opponents they have literally been exposed to a higher level of competition.
I'm reading posts where people say Rios is going to get "exposed" against Pacquiao. How does anyone get the label when taking on an 8 division world champ/all time great? (question is rhetorical)
Rios was already exposed as a one dimensional brawler vs Abril.
Alvarado had already lost by stoppage so how the fk was he 'exposed'?

Before the fight he got a lot of credit because of how he outboxed rios. Even his trainer admits this went to his head a bit and he forgot how he got to the top in the first place. He was a slugger for 32 fights before. I just thought his ability as a good boxer puncher was going to be exposed and it was.
In the same way as a lot of people at the time thought khan had an ok chin after the maidana fight. Actually I remember Richard Schaefer saying after khan had one of the best chins in boxing!
Can we define the proper definition of "expose" please? When a fighter loses it doesn't automatically means he got "exposed" unless he was completely outclassed, got stopped badly, or showed lack of skill or stamina.
JMM lost to Bradley -Not exposed
Rios lost to Abril - Exposed (showed he could be easily outboxed)
Was prokodonov or whatever, exposed by Bradley? because he can be outboxed.
Was Klitchko exposed when he was KO'd.
Was Pac exposed?
Just a few questions for those that always scream "exposed".
I feel like only boxing noobs and 12 year olds use this word "exposed"
to these uneducated types of people who know nothing about boxing, any time a fighter loses a fight, he is 'exposed'. We shouldn't even call them losses or have a win/lose column we should call them exposures.
TALE OF THE TAPE, he is the fighting pride of Miami, Florida, with 17 wins, 14 by way of knockout, and only 3 Exposures!
I mean it's ridiculous
LOL this is on point.
Mike Alvarado was in no way "exposed" last Saturday.
