    You could make the case that Honeyghan was ruined by Marlon Starling. He went from being an aggressive pressure fighter to a scared punching bag against Mark Breland.







    Terry Norris was KO'd and DQ'd many times but he was never the same after being upset by Keith Mullings.

      That's true, there was a steep decline after the Starling fight, Breland had his way with him, only time I've seen someone knocked down and hurt twice in 1 fight by jabs.

        Seeing Benn KO'd by a jab was pretty surreal.

            Yeah, Wlad basically became Daniel Santos after his first KO loss. Scared, boring to watch, hit and hold.

              Kris Koval. Clearly he was on the way to being a hall of famer until he got KO'd by the amazing Hayes...

                  John "the Beast" Mugabi. He took a terrific beating against Hagler, and after that never really achieved what he could have. You could argue that Hagler was never the same again either. Matthew Saad Muhammad was ruined by Dwight Qawi. He became a journeymen virtually overnight. Davey Moore was never the same after Duran.

                  On a similar note there are also quite a few fighters who were never the same after winning a fight. Nigel Benn was effectively shot after McClellan. Joe Bugner was ruined forever in the eyes of the British public after beating Henry Cooper...
