    can anyone tell me about fighters who have lost at the domestic level and still went on to achieve at the world level or closely contend?

    Can't think of a single one.
    Amir Khan would have, but fortunately he dodged the domestic scene.

    Danny Williams was the first name that came to my head...he lost to Julius Francis I think, and then went on to challenge Klitschko.

    He did better than alright mate. 2 weight world champion, 12 ( i think ) defences of SMW wbc title.
    Watson was hardly what you'd call domestic level though.

    He was fairly well known and was in no way a domestic fighter.
