    Man, that's modern boxing though. In a nutshell.

    The 0 is the whole thing now. It's a pain in the ass and a ****ing joke.

    winning and losing is such a small percentage. but the top elite have that 1% more than most. and when they lose that 1% seems to be gone and may never come back.

    thats why i feel guys say they are washed up after a loss.

    and a reason why guys come back after a loss was due to a poor performance...maybe a bit too much water maybe one steak 3 weeks ago too much etc

    Point out those SAME posters saying both please. Generalizations or blanket statements like that are meaningless.

    However, no one is seriously comparing Margarito to the Sugars. :patsch

    i put it down to a complete lack of respect and an even bigger lack of boxing knowledge .

    Probably keeps too many good fights from being made too.

    One other thing contributes to this. The length of time between fights. Fans have to wait quite a while for their favorites so they get pretty rev'ed up and each fight becomes more of a focal point. Just think if you are a Winky Wright fan....:lol:

    Fighters are overrated by their fans and underrated by their haters... that's just how it goes.
