From Broken Man To Beast: Fighters Who Really were that much better after a beating?

Maybe you want to call Frank Warren "Enzo the baker" he put him in with so many bums.

I'm not for protecting Maccarenelli - I would love to see him fight the best out there

 

Johnny Nelson

Lost 12 of his first thirty something fights to go on the become the champion of the world for i believe seven to eight years

 

A young Pacman would have been considered as having a glass body/chin

 

But did he really get much better, he gave Sanchez absoloute hell then kinda did what was expected of him afterwards.

I think he matured his style alot after this 'loss' and became a better all round fighting machine.

Alexis Arguello - after his loss with Marcel. He realised he needed much more technique to become a world champion and focussed on his skills which led him to be one of the greatests.

 

What about Nigel Benn lost to Eubank then moved up in weight to secure his legacy as a british great at super middle including a contenscious draw against Eubank and odviously the war against McClellan to name but two fights ....

I personally think he was a better fighter after that defeat and chiselled his legacy from then onwards...

 

i THINK THE wATSON DEFEAT WAS JUST AS IMPORTANT (oops caps)
