Loss
A half year later Krasniqi lost his belt in a fight against Przemysław Saleta. The man from Rottweil was prepared for eight rounds. But after an injury of Vitali Klitschko, his fight was pushed to the main event. Mainly due to this lack of preparation, although leading by points, Krasniqi apparently feared a loss and elected to quit.
After this defeat Krasniqi struggled to get back to the top of the European rankings. Finally on 14 February 2004 he won against the "Bull from Bosphorus" Sinan Samil Sam and became European Champion once again.

—William James (1842–1910)
“When a man laughs at his troubles he loses a good many friends. They never forgive the loss of their prerogative.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The loss of my sight was a great fillip. If I could go deaf and dumb I think I might pant on to be a hundred.”
