    Bump.
    Curious to see if Kambosos can come back stronger after the Haney fight, it was basically a horrible styles match up for him. Plenty of fighters lose to the same guy twice and still succeed.

    Barrera was a unique case because not only did he not get better after the Jones losses he got tremendously better. I remember he was fighting in the early 2000s and Emmanual Steward said during one of his fights that it was amazing how much better he got after those losses.

    Several years before becoming world champ, Fritzie Zivic had a 7-fight losing streak.

    Just realized that this thread was made after Chocolatito had 2 losses to SSR. It's amazing to see how quickly he rose back from his KO loss and still became champ again, also arguably beat Gallo in the rematch as well. He's a great example of someone that was able to successfully move on from back-to-back losses to the same guy.

    It'll be interesting to see where Wilder and AJ will be going forward after their double losses. Larry Holmes did pretty well himself after losing to Spinks twice.

    In a way I think the losses to Jones is what helped him improve his boxing skills and lead to him beating Hamed, who he decisively outboxed. Had he fought with his old come forward aggressive style against Hamed he would have been tagged more frequently and possibly stopped.
