    I agree Tarver -1 even tho Roy won changed him forever..Salido 1,2 may have derailed Lopz's career..Tito changed -Vargas's career.of course Douglas changed Mikes Career

      Calzaghe-Lacy - Jeff Lacy was one of the hottest up-and-coming fighters in boxing at the time; he was knocking guys out left and right and seemed to have a promising future at SMW. In arguably Joe's best career performance, Lacy will beat pillar-to-post and taken to school for 12 rounds. Lacy was broken mentally/physically and was never able to get back to the top ranks again in his career.

        Calzaghe should have been charged with career **** in that fight cause i think when Lacy see's Joe to this day he shakes and ****s himself

          Corrales v. Castillo 1 I'm sure everyone here would agree neither fighter was the same after that war,true warriors still gives me goose bumps when I watch that fight.

                  JMM-Diaz...........The Baby Bull was never the same after their first fight.
                  B-Hop-DLH.........Last time Oscar showed his boxing skills, and footwork.
                  Floyd-Hatton.......Hatton was never the same after Floyd KO'd him.
                  Pavlik-Taylor.......Taylor has looked horrible since Pavlik KO'd him.
                  Linares-Salgado...Linares has been on a decline ever since.

                    "The Thrilla In Manila" Ali-Frazier III; Despite winning, the fight ruined Muhammad Ali. He would never be the same fighter again.
