Champions who lost their debut and final bouts.
Champions who lost their debut and final bouts.
For a bit of fun see how many World Champions started and ended their professional careers with a loss.
From more recent history I've got Bernard Hopkins and Rafael Marquez.
Any others?

Luisito Espinosa, I think, I know he lost some really early bouts and ended on a string of losses. Same with Arguello, lost his last one and for years was listed under losing his pro debut but I think that's since been revised.
