Not the fighters, but how loses effect ones career and something boxing can learn from it..
This is one of the reasons, IMO, that MMA is superior to boxing. We get the fights we want and, though I never though of it until his comment, its helps fighters develop. Perhaps Fedor will experience what happened to Roy Jones Jr.

They come right back and are at it again. That's how it used to be in boxing. Look at Sugar Ray Robinson. He lost. But Roy was always terrified of losing that zero and, for that reason, he didn't develop the way he would have if he had been tested."
