    Which fighters doesn't seem to lose any screws when they get their ass handed to them but rather comeback strong as ever?

    Talented fighters are plenty, but the ones that impresses me the most are those who can rise from a brutal defeat to conquer their adversaries. Can you name them?

    I agree.

    This "Calzaghe ruined Lacy buuuuhuuuu" is just ridiculous (and I don't believe it for one second. Lacy is the same he always was)

    But if there are fighters that break due to a loss, then they were never anything anyway as they were mentally lacking.

    Andrade is one that always gives max.

    Marco Antonio Barrera.

    He should have never achieved what he did in Boxing having lost to Junior Jones in the fashion he did. Also, considering how many wars the man had been in (Mckinney, Jones 1+2, Morales 1, Pacquiao 1), it's quite outstanding how he still made a comeback in defeating Morales, who would go on to beat Pacquiao, and then be very competitive with prime Juan Manuel Marquez. Nobody defied the odds like the Baby Faced Assassin.

    Bernard Hopkins.

    Edit: Early in his career against Roy Jones, then he storms back and sets history in the Middleweight division with his defenses. Loses to Taylor twice in razor-thin decisions only to move up two weight divisions and shut out Tarver. Then he loses to Calzaghe and shuts out the undefeated Pavlik. Nothing gets to him.

    Hopkins is definitely mentally strong, however I don't think he ever took a beating.

    Agreed. I thought of him when I entered the thread.
