    Top level fighters who never fought again after their first loss?

    Can anyone think of any?

    They don't have to be ATG's but as long as they were around world level ie close to or challenging for a world title at least.

    Michael Spinks is all i can think of from the top of my head but there must be some more.

            Yeah good shout.

            Chris John has retired after his first loss too but he's only just retired a bit ago, might come back.

              Yeah, if you get the chance watch Dorin vs Spadafora, Dorin should've been the new champ after that, great scrap though.

                Mike Jones has been gone for what, 2 years now since getting KO'd by Bailey?

                Is he ever coming back?

                  Lucian bute might as well have not fought again. Marvin hagler lost fairly early in his career, then retired after he took his first loss at world level.
