I agree, I’ll take a step back. I just rise to people when I really shouldn’t.Steveh583 wrote: ↑19 Apr 2021, 15:59coghaugen is a space cadet. as in genuinely unwell bless him.

I dont care about any of that and wish him good health, but the constant bickering is actually ruining some pretty good threads. could a MOD sort it please?
yeah mate, its pointless. hes not well and will always draw everything back to eubank. a waste of a life debating/squabbling with him.mickey1975 wrote: ↑19 Apr 2021, 16:13I agree, I’ll take a step back.

I agree with that. A prospect loses, and then its all about marketing the big "come back", which emphasises the significance of the loss. Arguably makes more sense to just dust yourself down, and keep going. Unless you get knocked out like what Mercer did to Morrison. Then you need a good rest.Twinkle Toes wrote: ↑19 Apr 2021, 06:41 The old saying is very true - you're only as good as your last fight
It makes a lot of sense to get back in the ring asap and for many many reasons.

its smoke and mirrors, but i back it. as long as its done quick and slyly. i dont like when someone loses and then there next 4 fights are shit, but 3 months apart, and suposidly adding value to under-cards.coghaugen11 wrote: ↑19 Apr 2021, 19:58An old Mickey Duff trickgregregegg wrote: ↑19 Apr 2021, 19:55 If a prospect loses bury it. obviously heal up, then box 4 absolute noones, 2 weeks apart, with no weight cut, dosent matter if they are televised. the casual public are trick-able, then your a prospect coming of 4 wins...

Take Joe Louis losing his 0 vs Schmeling - yes it could be looked at that he got his shot very quickly despite the defeat, but that defeat was still a major major story. Ali vs Frazier 1 was another where there was a mention on the unblemished record.
Obviously the manner of the loss is another factor - take Leonard vs Duran and Hagler's early career losses - in Leonard's it was a narrow defeat against an ATG in which he fought tactically terribly and with Hagler they were controversial - so both bounced back pretty quickly. Whereas Don Curry and Mike Tyson losing their 0 was a much much bigger thing, not just to them personally but how it was percieved in the media / public.
It always has been a big thing, but I really think it was before Sky and linked a lot to firstly Ali ("i can't be beat etc) and Tyson (with the MC's going "undisputed, undefeated Heavyeight champion of the world" and Cus proclaiming that he will go on a long unbeaten run).
