Sam Peter V James Toney (both fights).
JT should never have gone to heavyweight, and I hate to say but his whole life was changed by peter. It was just 1 or 2 heavy punches too many.
I think Toney was already fighting on borrowed time by the Peter fights. 38 years old, close to 80 pro fights and 600 rounds.
I can only imagine how many rounds he's sparred in addition to those 600 rounds that he's had in real fights.

He's not what he once was, but as ugly as it may have been (including the post-fight interview), Karmazin was a good win considering the level of opposition and the move up in weight.
I agree, My point was that at one time Spinks looked as though he could be a really good fighter or boxer (I dont think you can call Cory Spinks a fighter lol). He looked like he could be something special and since the loss to Judah, That kind of derailed it all for him.
But yeah. Karmazin is a pretty good win for anybody. Especially for your first fight in a new weight class. It was a good victory for him.
I thought Spinks best wins were against Mayorga, Picirillo and Judah (first fight). He has won a title since then but I dont think he has looked like the same fighter he was a few years before.

Great minds think alike lol.
What's with people and there "he was ruined in this fight!" in instances where the defeated fighter went on to score some of their best wins AFTER the loss?
Mayweather-Corrales? Corrales's 3 best wins were probably Castillo 1, Casamayor 2, and Freitas..all of which came 3 years after the Mayweather fight.
Tszyu-Judah? Judah's best win was more than 3 years after the Tszyu fight. Tszyu was just the first guy to really show Zab's problems with his mind/focus.
Is that why Stinks's next fight after the Judah loss was one of the 2 best wins of his career?

Omfg, how can nobody say....
Sugar ray leonard - marvin hagler
wtf...that is the most standout and nobody has said it yet
How did Leonard "ruin" Hagler as a fighter? Hagler was already past his best, as was Leonard.
Now if you mean "ruin" in the sense that Hagler is bitter as hell to this very day probably throws darts at a picture of Ray in the morning, then yeah.
Hopkins ruined Trinidad.. I remember back then the ultimate plan for Felix was to win the Middleweight Tourney and go up to fight Roy Jones Jr...Felix was done from the second Hopkins grabbed the PR flag and threw it on the ground(In Puerto Rico of all places)
James Toney ruined Vassily Jirov
Julio Cesar Chavez ruined Hector "Macho" Camacho
Im not sure if Tito ruined Vargas
But it really took away his confidence. Even though he put up good fights against De La Hoya and Mosley in the first fight. Vargas lost some of his mental strength I feel, Because Trinidad really put a beating on him.
All the tough fights (Wright, Quartey, Trinidad, De La Hoya) took a toll on Vargas, as well as the injuries. The Trinidad fight did the most damage of those..Vargas looked pretty bad in the Rivera fight and not so hot against Flores as well.
