~Fighters who ruined other fighters.~

Great minds think alike lol.

What's with people and there "he was ruined in this fight!" in instances where the defeated fighter went on to score some of their best wins AFTER the loss?

Mayweather-Corrales? Corrales's 3 best wins were probably Castillo 1, Casamayor 2, and Freitas..all of which came 3 years after the Mayweather fight.

Tszyu-Judah? Judah's best win was more than 3 years after the Tszyu fight. Tszyu was just the first guy to really show Zab's problems with his mind/focus.

I thought Spinks best wins were against Mayorga, Picirillo and Judah (first fight). He has won a title since then but I dont think he has looked like the same fighter he was a few years before.

He's not what he once was, but as ugly as it may have been (including the post-fight interview), Karmazin was a good win considering the level of opposition and the move up in weight.

It is kind of why I threw a ring death in there with Leavander Johnson.


I think people get really impressionable when they see a ko and forgot what happened since.

I agree, My point was that at one time Spinks looked as though he could be a really good fighter or boxer (I dont think you can call Cory Spinks a fighter lol). He looked like he could be something special and since the loss to Judah, That kind of derailed it all for him.

But yeah. Karmazin is a pretty good win for anybody. Especially for your first fight in a new weight class. It was a good victory for him.

Sam Peter V James Toney (both fights).

JT should never have gone to heavyweight, and I hate to say but his whole life was changed by peter. It was just 1 or 2 heavy punches too many.

I think Toney was already fighting on borrowed time by the Peter fights. 38 years old, close to 80 pro fights and 600 rounds.

I can only imagine how many rounds he's sparred in addition to those 600 rounds that he's had in real fights.
