Loss Early help a young fighter?

[marbleheadmaui]

i think it just depends on the fighter.

Some fighters learn alot from a loss early.

It appeared to help guys like Hopkins, Marquez, Khan, etc.

Other young fighters lose motivation and focus and basically never get back to a good level like Jaidon Codrington, Jeff Lacy,etc.

Yeah I agree with this. Many great fighters lost early, Armstrong, Arguello, Monzon etc and many great fighters began with notable unbeaten runs, Robinson, Chavez and Holmes.

Fighters can only be great by being daring matchmakers. THAT is the key.
