Did Lomencheko set a new standard for Olympic Gold Medalist?

so what, he learnt from it and moved on. YOu are stuck in the ****** modern boxing mindset in which a loss is disastrous and its better to manufacture an unbeaten record than fight a risky fight early on in career.

100% spot on. I think an early loss could do him good, some fighters who keep winning and then face their first loss later on lose confidence and spirit (e.g. Naseem Hamed, Tyson). Also, I hate this new trend set by Mayweather were 0 losses = ATG. Ali had losses, SRL, Hagler, Duran all had losses yet they took risks and fought the best, no one questions their greatness because of their losses.
