What Losses Have Made a Fighter a Better Fighter...

[creekrat77]

Pacquiao vs Morales 1
A more varied offense using the right hand a lot more

Algieri vs Pac
Obviously he never had a chance. But he became more offensive and applies more constant pressure under Jackson. Still, his chin is suspect

Bernard Hopkins after his first pro fight

De la Hoya vs Trinidad
I think this is where he switched to Floyd sr. Also everyone knows he didn't nessesarly lose the fight. He was robbed

[JJRod]

Sugar Ray Leonard's loss to Roberto Duran.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

David Lemieux learned to pace himself better after the Rubio fight.

I think Kostya Tszyu realized he wasn't indestructible after the Vince Phillips loss.

I don't know that losing is a good thing ever, but some guys continue to make the same mistakes over and over and they get by, because of youth, their opposition and so forth. The right opponent, though, will exploit their mistakes and beat them. Now, how they respond to the loss says a lot about the fighter. It's very inspiring to see a fighter bounce back and improve his skills and learn from the loss rather than let it drag him down.

Floyd got better after Castillo whupped his A$$ don't care what the judges said or Floyturds say he got man handled

[MRBOOMER]

Leonard after the first Duran fight.

[Mr. Philadel]

BHop losing to Roy

[Tedkidlewis]

David Haye against Carl Thompson. Haye learnt a hard lesson in that fight and never came in to a fight out of shape again.

[Earl-Hickey]

Degale against Groves
I think to an extent Froch against Kessler

[Tedkidlewis]

Vitali against Lennox made Vitali a better fighter in the eyes of the people but I doubt a beating like that would have benefitted him. Great fight

Russell takes him in a rematch.
