Fighters Who Didn't Handle Their 1st Defeat Well

Naseem Hamed
George Foreman
Jeff Lacy

 

Lloyd Honeyghan

 

Roy Jones(his first REAL defeat)

 

Don Curry for me

 

I've got a very strong feeling that Allan Green will end up on this list!

 

Johnny Bumphus
Bernard Taylor
Alex Ramos.

 

Definately Naz and Lacy

 

I think everyone's being too harsh on Lacy... Yes he took a severe beating for 12 long rounds but he took a rest and came back against a decent southpaw Tsykpo. Given that Calzaghe was a southpaw it's maybe the last thing he wanted but he got in there and

Correction Zab Judah

 

naz ,... although he seemed to have retired before the barerra fight wasa announced according to manny

 

Andre Dirrell!

 

Hatton.

 

Steve Molitor...

He faced his first real AAA fighter and froze, performed very poorly, didn't box like he was supposed to. After that crushing loss he never performed as well again; he is far too tentative and his activity is way down.

Most people don't think much of Steve Molitor, but the guy was a pretty sharp boxer before his loss.
