Who created the myth that you have to bounce back from Defeat or a KO/KD to be great?

If it wasn't for boxing org politics he would have held all 4 major titles.
Because he didn't beat Barrera in a rematch or bounced back from his loss , few on here ever rate him as highly as he deserved.

it's not a new thing.
it's probably been around as long as the "if you have no losses , you haven't fought anyone" saying.
different era. this was during the times when people fought 100-200 fights and everyone had a lot of losses.

clottey was a top 5 fighter in his division so it counts for something.
foreman is a bad matchup for cotto.
cotto is too brave for his own good.
i wish he took a nice tuneup or two. see where he's at. give his new trainer (steward) some time to work on stuff with him.

I think the term would apply mostly to a young, prime fighter. Hamed had clearly lost focus long before the Barrera fight. He did get up from many KDs though.
