    basically any guy that was an underdog in a fight and lost a close decision and any guy that got robbed.

    Financially? Probably Golota.

    He losses against Bowe => he gets a rematch
    He losses the rematch => gets a shot at Lewis
    losses against Grant => gets a lucrative fight against Tyson
    losses against Ruiz for WBA belt => gets a shot at Brewster's WBO title
    losses against Austin => is considered safe enough to give him last payday against Adamek in Poland

    Vic Darchinyan.

    I recall saying Darchinyan will pay for his lack of defense against Donaire. But since then Darchinyan has been on a roll making life hell for anyone he is fighting in the ring.

    In my lifetime, Meldrick Taylor won more respect losing to JCC than any of the guys who beat him. To this day, and for decades to come, Taylor's day in the sun will be discussed and debated and he will continue to earn respect for it.

    Its gotta be Khan. Roy Jones after he got DQ'd against Montell Griffen comes to mind as well. Victor Ortiz seems to have been regenerated after the Maindana loss too.

    Matthysse seems to have gotten a lot of love after losing both to Alexander and Judah.

    A beating? hardly....:nut


    Another one, Pacquiao.I recall thinking Morales would beat him i just wasn't impress with his fight against Marquez at the time.I thought he was off balanced and out of ****ing control.I thought this guy needs to be settle the **** down and he has made those changes to his game.

    he didnt benefit at all, this will haunt him for his whole career, count on that. it did made him more vicious and colder, so as a boxer he benfited from the negative backlash.
