    I think if there was an obvious stone wall robbery, then some fighters have gained fans and plaudits. Does this enhance their legacy? Not sure.

                    Juan Manuel Marquez losing to Pacquiao enhanced his legacy. Same with his brother rafael Marquez losing in crazy exciting fashion to izzy vasquez. Pacquiao losing to morales 1 endeared him greatly to boxing fans.

                    It all depends on who you lose to and how you lose.
