    Should losses be given credit when assessing a fighter's resume?

    And on the same token, should losses or unjust wins detract from a fighter's assessment?

    It can be used as a tie breaker when comparing similar fighters

      you get credit for fighting them, being competitive but of course its far less meaningful then an actual win.

      if you are robbed, alot of dudes give u credit like you won

        man, you're creating more threads faster than 'pump does. and most of them are recycled questions, like this one.

          Of course how competitive they were should be taken in to consideration.

            if you notice, i make them within ten min periods sparingly, so dont worry, just endure my 10 min rampages and youll do fine. fwiw didnt kno this question had been asked b4. link to thread which is about this topic? thanks in advance.

              yes. losses, especially close ones are important. Facing the best and coming up short means something imo.

                  even though i think pac should have won (although to me the fight was close) i give bradley a bit of credit for getting a "robbery" in a competitive fight

                    No a resume is a list of accomplishments I doubt people view a loss as one. Only in boxing is a loss looked at in a good aspect.
