Fighters unfairly attached to a loss.

[CFH]

Nate Campbell losing to Peden was the first one that came to mind, though it was more the manner in which he lost than the fact that he lost.

[Spicoli]

Meldrick Taylor / Julio C. Chavez 1......

[THE THIRD MAN]

Duran V Leonard 2 -Is probably the most famous for the way it ended.

Hagler v Leonard -The controversy over the decision seems to overshadow
Hagler's reign as a long time champ at 160.


Tszyu v Phillips- Tszyu has copped a lot of flak for losing to Phillips in this one and i think unjustly, shit happens as they say and KT was doing a lot of that pre -fight with a big dose gastro the night before the fight. He cameback strongly after that.

Alexis Arguello vs Aaron Pryor I and II, i think Arguello is far too known for these two fights, and not known enough for his great career at the lower weights.

Great topic in such dry conditions for boxing.

I don't like to think about topics like these, because personally, I don't want to be remembered for one failure of my life. So I hold that to boxers to, at least I hope I do. heheh

I think the guy who said, Roberto Duran just hit it on the nail. It's sad because Duran would have been a champ in any era, but at the same time he did it to himself when he quit, he purposely made the mistake himself albeit a quick decision mistake.

Scares me what one mistake can do to your legacy, but then again, who cares what others think. I'm sure Duran regrets quitting.

I always kinda feel sorry for those rising stars you see greatness in but never get a completely fair crack of the whip because they lost a couple of 4round split decisions early in their careers.

Maybe controversial but Naseem Hamed with his loss to Barrera. His achievemets often get over-looked because he lost to MAB.

I also think David Haye was attached to his loss to Thompson unfairly. To me he learnt so much in that fight. It helped make him the fighter he is today. I think that fight is forgotten now anyway, but for a while people used to use that fight as an example as to why he'd never be a champ.
