Which fighters were never "the same" after being KO'd?

[TheGreatA]

I expected more from Honeyghan after the Curry fight, that never happened.

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.

Tito has Gutted a few fighters careers in the past....

[El Chicano]

Wlad Kliscthko...most recent.

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...

Yeah, he did....


Obba Carr, Yori Boy Campas, David Reid, Fernando Vargas, William Joppy.....

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...

Although he wasnt KO'd, Lacy hasnt been the same since the Calzaghe fight. Taylor is gonna bust him up...

[IwatchBoxing]

Name some......... Daniel Santos, he became boring after getting KTFO by Kofi Jantuah.

But hes back, so he is the same because he stood toe to toe with Margarito and nothing but ko wins since than
