Fighters who dined out on a loss

Meldrick Taylor crusher to Chavez? Never the same and always over shadows his prior masterpiece v McGirt.

As far as I understand the question, both Jeff Lacy and Meldrick Taylor have been said which I agree that both are definitely remembered for their specific loss than anything else they did in their careers.

To a lesser extent, I would say Hamed with Barrera. Although people do talk about Hamed’s career prior to his loss, he almost became defined by that loss in the sense that it proved what level a fighter he really was.
