Gerry Cooney/Holmes was another one.
Biggest drop for a Boxer?

Not the biggest but Jimmy Young went from fighting and arguably beating Ali, Foreman, Norton, Shavers and Lyle to being a journeyman for fighters like Cooney, Page, Tubbs and Tucker to beat up on. I think he lost 14 of his last 30 fights.
Wilfred Benitez was shot and fighting like a journeyman at age 25.Comment

I wouldn't put it on the same scale as some of the choices that have been named, but Fransisco Bojado and Ricardo Williams come to mind. Both took big falls from grace after losing fights they were expected to win, during careers that haven't come close to living up to the hype and promise which were heaped upon them.Comment

Roy easily the biggest "drop".
Tyson lost but was still talked about alot.
Jones got KO'd in the 2nd when most thought he was "mr unknockoutable"Comment
