Niiice post!

How about Dick Tiger who began 14-7 and went on to become two time undisputed 160 champ and undisputed 175 champ?

Freddie Pendleton was 17-15-2 when he got a draw with Livingstone Bramble and then went on a run and eventually gave Sweet Pea a tussle and won a strap at 135.

How about Glenn Johnson? He lost five in a row at one point and like seven out of ten and just kept battling.

Ezzard Charles got KO'd savagely back to back by Bivins and marshall IIRC as a young fighter. He took 18 months off and came back to become, well Ezzard Charles!
