    Hopkins?
    Mosley?
    Barrera?

    It's probably true at HW but not at the other weight classes.

    hopkin 9-4 after losing 2-0
    mosley 11-8 after losing 2-0
    barrera, well he was already done when he lost 2-0

    None of them can be considered really top after they lost 2-0. They were never the same. I have to admit that mosley specially took it really well, though.

    You do know that Barrera beat Morales, Hamed, Tapia, Ayala, and Kelley after that right? Won a couple of titles defended them a dozen times? Half of his career is after the Junior Jones losses. He gets knocked off the p4p list and they briefly put Junior Jones up in '97. Then Barrera climbs back up again by 2001 until Pacquiao knocks him off in 2003, but he comes back onto the list in 2004. He was hardly done.

    Castillo saw it my way in both fights.

    We both had JLC winning the first and losing the rematch.
