How many fighters can you name that recover after a one sided thrashing?

There are only a few fighters who recover or become great again after one sided thrashing (we are not talking about one-round KO like Juanma vs. DPL but thorough one sided beating like Lacy-Calzaghe, Pac-Diaz, Darchi-Mijares).

It is my contention that such beating affects more the psyche rather than the physical aspect. Lacy never reached his supposed potential; Solis, an udefeated prospect with very solid boxing fundamental (I thought that they fed him to the lion in that match), is erased from the map after loss to pac.

On the other hand, MAB rose from the beating he got.

There is no way to predict who would rise through such situation and I can not name many actually. Infact, I think that Mijares will never be the same again.

 

We are talking here of comprehensive thrashing, one sided beating, unilateral outclassing. The Darchi-Donaire 1, Donaire was winning because he was landing the more meaningful punch but not a thrashing until the KO happened. Example of a thrashing would be Pac-Mab 1 or Darchi-Mijares.

I cannot recall Leonard being totally outclassed in the Duran fight. Infact, the scores were so closed that only 1 judge had Duran by two points while the other two was just by a point. He chose to slug with Duran that is why he lost but he had his moments.
