Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu can take inspiration from a few fighters who rebounded from setbacks
Rebounding from a defeat is arguably the most difficult aspect, both physically and mentally, for any participant in a sport as brutal as boxing.

Tim's problem isn't the losses he's taken, but how much damage he took in his rise up the ranks in the first place. He took way too many clean shots before he ever got in there with Fundora and Murtazaliev and they caught up with him in those fights. It's probably not going to get better after those two beatings.
As far as I know; Neither of those fighters had taken one-sided asswhoopings as Tim Tszyu did, I am not saying that it can’t happen but it won’t be easy.
The most important factor in his road to recovery is patience and rest. Don’t be in a such a rush to throw this kid to the wolves by cashing him out.
Help boost his confidence with much lower opposition first. Then slowly and gradually start rebuilding his career with stiffer opposition.
Once he completes this process then start prepping him for title contenders and holders next.

He didnt take anything before Fundora and his last stoppage, Harrison was shot didnt touch him, untouched by Medoza, the only sold shot was by Gausha , 24 fights total.
The thing with Tim is he isnt very good, was well managed where they picked name guys on the slide, last two fights in form fighters and look what happened he just isnt very good and it caught up with him.

He took plenty of clean shots in all of those fights. Go back and look at the live threads, people including myself were pointing out how he was taking too many punches.
Coming back from a KO is rare but Lennox Lewis did it twice, Floyd Patterson did it, in fairness CEJ did it. A lot of it is confidence. You will be told by keyboard warriors 'you're shot, finished, through, if you were ever anything you ain't now'. Shut that sh$t down. Do you think you're better than the man that sparked you? If not, call it a day. If yes, then you are going to have to work insanely hard to justify that.

Go back and watch the fights dont worry about threads lol, The guy that fought Floyd Scofield took more shots in one fight than Tim took in 22 fights.
Boxing fans are the worst sometimes, yes Tim could be finished. But with how confident he is he has the right tools for a comeback imo. Dude now knows he cant just boss at 154, if he's not too stubborn he likely has a pretty respectable career. If he is that and a little special and or lucky and or extremely well promoted, he could get another title.
We'll have to see how he performs in his next fight. His stock was still going up after the gutsy performance against Fundora. But right now, I'm not sure he can come back after that devastating loss to Murtazaliev.
