Agreed, all depends on the man. Look at Judah; after Kostya it seemed a fragility has been there ever since. He had some good wins after that, but he was never the same IMO.

We will soon find out about Taylor, not just with the rematch with Pavlik, but after that. I don't think he is mentally secure, but we will soon find out.

I have always wanted to see Mayweather lose, not because I am a hater, as I love the skills he has; but to see how ferocious he would be in returning. In a way we saw that with Castillo. Alot thought he lost the 1st fight, or close enough to question him, and he came back and put a clinic on Jose pretty much.

Jimmy Braddock is a good case of someone who loses but comes back to win in a big way.

Think Lennox Lewis was having any of that bullsh#t after Rahman khtfo? Look what happened the second time around.

And look at the new loser, Cintron. After Margarito punished him, he is pretty much mentally ruined, just look at how he is handling recent business. He may have won the fights after Tony, but look at his approach to the top guys. One more loss and he is finished.


See Judah is a perfect example of my point...He has showed his true heart...since the loss he has never been the same...IMO a fighter that rebounds from a loss to continue his career with a positive outcome...perfect example you made in Braddock....tell you more on what kind of fighter he is...

IMO it takes a champion to be able to deal with a loss just as well as a win.....I am not one of those guys that believe that a loss is always a bad thing...sometimes it wakes a guy up
Judah is a bad example. Before the Tszyu loss he was a title holder. A title that was given to him on a silver platter after it was stripped unjustly from Terron Millett. After the Tszyu loss he went on to become undisputed Welterweight champion. Undisputed. Not just a title holder. So he actually accomplished more after his loss than before. So I don't see him as being ruined after his first loss.

Based on his recent comments and non-stopped crying, I wouldn't be surprised if Hatton is ruined after his recent loss
