Jorge Luis Gonzales losing to Bowe.
Mason losing to Lennox Lewis.
Hearns losing to Leonard (and then Hagler)
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Mason's career was definitely defined by the Lewis loss. Not sure about dining out on it thought, he almost went blind didn't he?
Think more Henry Cooper. No one cares that he won the Lonsdale belt a hundred times. He knocked down Clay God dammit and gave a great account of himself in a plucky loss.

Re: Fighters who dined out on a loss
I had just typed out an essay and then deleted it, Henry cooper is exactly the kind of guy who I couldn’t think of. Plenty of greats lost lots, but they are almost never defined or served by those fights. “Dined out on” implies that the guy was better off for losing the fight, in the scheme of things.
Just a dude in blue.

Nice twist on it topic. Maybe a guy like Razor Ruddock post Tyson I. But that Dokes KO still stands out.
