Boxing fans a strange bunch you lose one fight your toast.
Boxing is so unpredictable at should have could have one punch and it's good night.
HW are big guys all them punches hurt everybody jumps on the bandwagon when a fighter has lost one.

I think sometimes a loss can really bring out a weakness that many other fighters will exploit. Also, after getting knocked out, many fighters are never the same.

But I do agree with the main sentiment. Some people are acting as if he is done when he can easily prove otherwise

Boxing fans in general think one lose you have had it AJ is far from over the hill.
Khan on the other hand well frankly should consider hanging his gloves up he's been sparked to many times and he could end up getting injured.!

I think it's more of a generation issue.

From Pacman to Hopkins, their losses never hurt them. Morales schooled Pac 1st fight, but going into the rematch, the fire was still there on the part of his fans. Bhop had several losses that didn't come across as him getting beat as much as he didn't throw enough shots to warrant a win.


Holyfield vs Bowe I iwas a LLooonnngggg time ago, but I remember when Holy took that loss, he gained a respect in that defeat.

However, I would say there are some fighters whose losses do come across as a blueprint for others to use. Well, those boxers, yeah one and done.

Boxing can be pretty flavor of the month and fans def have short attention spans. It's also very much the nature of a loss and personality may be a part. Not attributing this to Joshua but today promoters and networks are determined to have the next big thing, you see some rushed to the point of fans knowing they're being pushed hard and lets not lie..some guys you just root to lose . Fighters as with people are different now, maybe not quite as hardened for lack of a better term and frankly over value the 0 and all the ivory towers cushioned in with it. Set backs are not the end of the world but opportunity, just don't make them a habit.

I wonder if you lose faith in a fighter with one lose is frankly a bit stupid.
Because Duran Hearns etc all lost but does it takeaway the fact they were great fighters.
Hell no not one bit the boo boys jump on the bandwagon saying he was never this good etc. Really guys one of the toughest sports in the world were one punch turns a negative in to a positive.!
