Do loses matter in boxing?

[Canelo Phresh]

Larry's seen a bad omen.

[Blu]

Yes, but not nearly as much as people think they do.

All the current great fighters have losses with the exception of Mayweather.

Martinez
Hopkins
Pacquiao
Bradley
Marquez
Donaire
Klitschko

Do losses matter? Context. Same as do wins matter? Does it matter if you win if you had a CW or didn't let your opponent wear the gloves the wanted, or you win a fight but clearly lost. Boasting a unbeaten record when you potentially have 3 losses on your resume. Its all about context.

If you didn't fight who you were supposed to fight, then your zero might mean jack.

NSB logic, it only matters if you hate the boxer.

[SlySlickSmooth]

What does it mean to matter? You mean in a good or bad way?

Ruslan Provodnikov took a loss against Bradley but became loved by boxing fans.

[Larry the boss]

No, they dont.

Thats why Pacman is ranked higher than Floyd on the ATG list.

On who's ATG list?

[Showtime..]

Provodnikov to Bradley. That was basically a win for Ruslan.

[mathed]

Depends on how many in proportion to his wins, and the quality of the opposition he lost to.

I agree. A loss here and there isn't a big deal as long as it is against great opposition. If you get trashed by subpar comp in consecutive fights, it might be time to hang em up.

Provodnikov to Bradley. That was basically a win for Ruslan.

If that's the face of a winner then.........I'd rather lose the fight
