    Back in the day a fighter lost or got knocked out and he simply dusted himself down and moved on.

    Losses matter less than great fights. But I’ve seen plenty of serious posters in this forum treat a fighter’s first loss as “exposing” him and proving that he obviously never would have been able to hang with various old-school champions.

    Sugar Ray Robinson was 40-0 when he fought Jake La Motta. He'd already beaten him once. Ray was a Welterweight. Jake was a middleweight. 14 pounds ? No problem. He fights La Motta for a second time. La Motta wins via a brutal 15 round decision. Becoming the 1st person to beat Ray Robinson

    They rematch again 21 days later.

    But it's get better.

    Sugar Ray fights a 10 rounder a week later to prepare him for the La Motta rematch.



    Ray wins the rematch via decision. Then goes undefeated for his next eighty fights.

    That's eighty fights in 8 years

    Until he loses to Randolph Turpin in 1951 (And this lose was probably because this was the last fight of European tour. A tour of seven fights in two months and he beat Turpin in rematch two months later)

    That's why all these undefeated fighters need to humble themselves. The top fighters only fight every 9 months and avoid risks well to be fair it's mainly their promoters and managers. But probably better to ask over the next 3 years or who will lose their "0" first. I didn't recognize everyone in the list but surprised the likes of Tank or Shakur wasn't on that list.

    the image was made at the beginning of the year but i didn't get around to posting it here until the twentieth of january, tank only holds a secondary belt & shakur had vacated his belts after missing weight against robson conceicao. the only one who shouldn't be in the image as a champion is naoya as he vacated his belts. i'll post an updated image once a few more drop off

    UFC build stars the way boxing can't because no one cares about the '0' and you are forced to fight the best if you want a paycheck.

    Promoter rivalries are preventing the best fights from happening in boxing because if the best fights happened in boxing it would be like UFC and have very few undefeated fighters. Promoter's & fighter's don't want 50/50 fights. They want the "0" so they can get a paper belt, call themselves champ, claim A-side, get the casuals to buy into their undefeated crap.

    The big TV networks like Fox, ESPN, Sky, BT could help the situation by refusing to sign exclusivity deals with any promoter. Instead they should offer to pay money only for the best fights. On the flipside, it’s a business, and an owner of a company has the right to maximize their earnings/profits. If that means prolonging their best fighter’s careers by keeping them away from the best competition they can fight, that’s on them. If as a boxing fan, you want to pay for that product, that’s on us I suppose.

    Fury - Usky. Fury - AJ. Bivol - Beterbiev. Spence - Crawford. None of them will happen anytime soon....... if ever. Jaron Ennis or Vergil Ortiz won't get a shot soon against either of them. Canelo won't fight Benavidez. The list goes on

    If they are not careful the writing is on the wall for boxing as the average age of the fan is probably getting older and older. Such a shame because when it gets it right, nothing compares!





    Tank Vs Garcia maybe tells us that boxing is waking. A real

    Cordina is one of my favourite fighters today. Very exciting and throws punches in bunches like Calzaghe.
