    Single fights that RUINED a fighter.. I'll start!

    JCC vs Meldrick Taylor

    -Meldrick was NEVER the same after that fight even tho he deserved the victory.

    Diego Chico Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo
    -A war that took alot out of bother fighters esp Chico.. It really drained him..



    I don't want to mention Lacy vs Calz yet because I'm giving him one more fight to see if he still has it. He was injured in the one of his last 2.. and he was fighting ring rust in December with Manfredo..

    Which other ones!?

      Well this wasnt a fight with a person, it was with weight and it was Roy Jones Jr. after John Ruiz. You saw how losing that much weight messed Chris Byrd up, so it just proved that what Roy was saying was true.

          Meldrick Taylor was still a good fighter after J.C. Chavez, although I agree he wasn't ever quite the same.

          Davey Moore never was the same after Roberto Duran. David Reid likewise after Tito Trinidad.

                  Barrera-Morales III was a pretty good performance by Barrera, a year after Pacquiao.

                  How about Julian Jackson-Dennis Milton?

                  Dennis Milton was a guy who beat Gerald McClellan, but then got KO'd in 1 round by Julian Jackson.

                  After that, he fought a pretty green Hopkins, and put on one of the worst displays I have ever seen. It was like Ferguson's performance against Tyson... hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, no punches, no chance of winning the fight.

                    Very good point & U are right...BUT!!..He just wasn't viewed the same by Critics Nor boxing fans..The way he was mangled made him go from huge PPV purchased fights to fighting opponents such as Paulie Ayala..Got a B.S. 'W' over Rocky Juarez (who sucks IMO) and Loses to JMM & Pacquiao rematch consecutivley..Just seems like That Loss Took him out of his Prime..
