Are Fighters The Same After Fighting Mayweather?

[Gino Ros]

most of his opponents barely take any punishment.

Outside of Hatton, I'd love to hear one fighter he has ruined. Even that's highly debatable.

he didn't ruin hatton.

hatton looked just fine afterwards.

what ruined hatton is his lifestyle and drinking.

[Left Hook Tua]

MOST.

i didn't say ALL.


floyd is a boxer/counterpuncher and his power isn't what it used to be in the higher weight classes/after his hand issues.

Yeah, but people still say it. I agree with you.

[bojangles1987]

He didn't ruin Corrales in the least. Corrales went on to have the best fight of his life years after he fought Floyd.

Mosley was ruined far before he fought Mayweather.

[Evil Abed]

Maybe Philip N'dou.

I don't think he ruined anyone else.

Mentally beaten, totally. Physically beaten, not so much. I think if you as a champion/ex-champion/contender who has been boxing your whole life, go in against another boxer only to be made to look completely average...that would totally screw with your head.

Perfectly on point,

I'd argue fighting floyd makes his opponents better because their next fight is against a much lesser fighter who isn't as accurate. One could argue he ruined Hatton, Corrales and Gatti in the sense they were no longer upper echelon fighters but I don't think he ruins careers.

Can you explain how SSM was ruined before May? Because he KO'd Margs before this, and please explain without the excuse that Margs mind was else where...
