Should losses be given credit when assessing a fighter's resume?

If you're assessing how good that fighter is/was then yeah of course, a close loss to a great fighter is worth more than a one sided schooling in assessing how good they are. but in terms of ATG ranking then no, a loss is a loss.

 

Uhm, except I then went on to provide context. Nice miss, little man.:good

 

Way that I remember it Zab Judah only should have won by a point or two. If you wanna discuss it any further then rewatch it, score it and let me know how you had it.

 

Zab Judah VS Junior Witter

Judge: George Colon 116-112
Judge: John Coyle 118-111
Judge: Vittorio Urzo 118-110

George Colon apparently agreed with me..... not that I really place alot of faith in the scoring of officials most of the time but...... it does add credibility to my claim.

 

Rambling about nothing in particular isn't the same as providing context. Examples are your friend, child. :good

 

If you don't negatively factor losses, than why bother positively factoring wins?

Edit: "close decisions," "debated outcomes," "consensus robberies," "controversial stoppages," etc. all are looked at up to the beholder as well...

Example: When Mayweather has the amazing ATG career that he does, his razor close victory over Castillo in their first fight is not all that good for his resume/legacy because it is the only close and/or debatable outcome of his whole career. However, if Mayweather in their first fight was actually DeMarcus Corley, than even a razor close victory over Castillo would be an amazing career best one for Chop Chop's limited former titlist career...
