    I don't think "Second to Nunn" was the same after being KTFO by Toney.

    Was it Mancini who killed a guy? My grandfather told me that he was never the same after that...afraid to go in for the kill.

    Eubank suffered the same way that Mancini did after hurting Watson. Just didn't seem to want to hurt people.

      I think "Second to" Nunn came back and was a two time super middlewieght titalist but lost his chance at a light heavy strap when he lost to Graciano Rocchigiani. So, he wasnt completly shot after Toney, but he was no longer P4P material.

          You're right...he never quite showed that superior boxing ability like he did earlier in his career though. He destroyed Kalambay, Barkley, and for about 9 rounds or so he outboxed Toney like there was no tommorow. I believe he lost to Littles and Liles soon after that too (is that right?). He was a top 3 P4P'er before Toney but didn't really have the same confidence afterwards in my opinion.

            I once was looking at Tyson's record on boxrec.com and I read that early in his career he fought a newcomer who was 0-0-0...he knocked that kid out, and the poor guy never fought again...

                  you are forgetting an obvious one:
                  Ali - Frazier 3 (both fighters were never the same after the fight and had their career shortened)
