It doesn't mean nothing obviously. But it's funny when people slam fighters for losing close decisions that could go either way and aren't critical of undefeated fighters for having close decision wins, like it isn't the same damn thing lol. I swear the record on paper is more important than the actual fights and context to some.

For me, accomplishments matter more than the number of losses a boxer has. Accomplishment = wins. Quality of accomplishment = beating the best possible opponents in one's weight division and the more wins against such opponents, the better quality of one's accomplishment and the more convincingly one beats such opponents in terms of how little they get hit (the less the better), relative to how often they land punches on opponent (the more the better) and how many rounds they win (the more the better), the better the quality of their accomplishment.
If a boxer has 0 losses in amateur boxing but also has 0 gold medals, is that boxer really better than another boxer who has 3 losses but has won 4 gold medals in different tournaments?
Let that sink in!

I feel like losses mean more than they should, nowadays. In my opinion, what matters most is when you lost, how you lost, and who you lost to. Being undefeated isn't impressive to me, unless you've convincingly beaten top-level fighters.
