Chris Eubank/Michael Watson 2, Watson put in hospital with a blood clot on the brain, slips into a coma but thankfully has now recovered but has slight paralysis, Eubank was never the same fighter after that, he'd have guys in trouble but not go in for the kill, so it had a big effect on both fighters.

So very true and i find it disgusting that he has been allowed to fight. He obviously wants to and the people who stand to make money will eagerly edge him on. I think they are horrible people who try to make money off fighters who shouldn't be in the ring at all. I liked Bowe alot and i still do to be honest, he commited a crime but he isn't a well man and alot of experts will tell people that. The only thing he knew in life was boxing and the tragic thing about that is he simply grew old before his time because of all the wear and tear he had in his career. I don't want to see him get beaten by bums, i wish him all the best.Originally posted by ejk22Comment

Oh how could i forget that too, that was tragic on Watson and left an everlasting effect on poor Chris. Your right he was never the same fighter after that, he hesitated alot more and went to outbox rather than kill. Such a shame. Wasn't it the same with Nigel Benn after the McClellan fight?Originally posted by barryboyComment

Davey Moore was absolutely ruined by Duran.
Reid by Trinidad.
DeWitt never the same after Hearns.
Norris and chin were shot after Julian J.Comment

I think Benn still went for it but that fight took so much out of him he even admitted that even though he was talking about Roy Jones, he knew he couldn't win that fight in his own heart, the McClellan fight was so draining physically & mentally, and to add to the Eubank situation, he skidded off the road in his jeep a while after the Watson fight & killed a guy who was standing by the road (he wasn't charged)so that was a terrible time for Eubank.Comment

Tyson/douglas-Mike changed for ever that night.
Bowe/Holyfield 1,2,3-Bowe won the series but lost the overall war-a shell of himself by the third fight.
Prediction:Tinidad/Hopkins-I no its been two years since the great tito entered the ring but I thought he looked like crap against Cherifi. It will be debateable because of the layoff but after oct 2 it will be apparent that he is not even close to the old tito.
Great topic I love the Reid/Trinidad one, I still lie in bed at night thinking what Rieds people were doing taking there 14-0-1 prospect in with a guy who was that experienced, that powerful, that great. My daddy a long time ago when I was a young lad told me he said "Nicky once a fighter takes a bad beatin in the ring he will never be able to take that same beatin again, the body won't allow it." Dad your right well except Gatti
Oh heres a good one Morales/Barrera 1, Morales hasn't skipped a beat since that fight but Barrera although looked great fighting Hamed/SAnchez has never been the same fighter, he won't allow himself to go through that kind of war again.Comment

Ahhh if u ever get to download it, be prepared to see one of the greatest fights ever to come about. Just looking at the two fighters staying warmed up during the announcement gives me goosebumps. Impecable condition both fighters were in, you rarely see that today.Originally posted by Dr_Cynical
Oh also be ready to see huge nationalistic favor for taylor from the commentators no matter what chavez did. And be ready to be surprised to see how the legendary nights documentary differs from the actual fight.Comment

Ayala's career was cut short by Morales.
I also feel MAB's career was cut short after their first bout he was never the same again.Comment
