Who only have a handful of losses, all of them owing to cuts? Basically, guys who'd be undefeated if it wasn't for unlucky cuts losses.
It can be. Many cuts are created by fouls. Among them are a clash of heads, elbows, and lacing. A good cut man can make a big difference by greasing a guy up to prevent cuts, or stopping a bad cut when it happens. Ring doctors much like referees have to make a judgment call on when to stop a fight on a cut. Some fights that are stopped on cuts have made sense, others have not. I think Chamachos son once got a cut from a clash of heads early in a fight, and opted out on a cut the winner on points saying he could not continue.
Nearly all of Alan Minter's fights that were loses ended on cuts...Having said that, although he gave a gritty performance before being stopped by Hagler I don't believe he had a legitimate chance of winning this one!
Myth with the exception of the Ali/Clay fights Cooper did not lose a fight due to a cut post 1957... as has been mentioned, being Ko'd was Coopers main fault.
