List of aggressive fighters who turned timid after a loss/beatdown

I came across an article about Kermit cintron and got me thinking.

Which fighters totally changed after suffering a horrible loss?

[El Gitano]

Camacho after the Rosario fight.

Good mention. Rosario really traumatized the dude. I enjoyed the pre-rosario Camacho so much more.

Pacquiao after the jmm ko

[Cheek busting]

Victor Ortiz. Although he gained it back for his career-best showing against Berto. Then he lost it again after that fight.

I agree, he is a lot more timid now, he's transformed into a pick your spots type of boxer -- but it goes to show how great a boxer that guy was/is to be able to go 5-1 since, with the only loss coming at the hands of the best boxer of the generation

Rios was 31-1 when Manny pitched a shutout on him, Algieri was unbeaten and was a top ten contender at the time, beat Tim Bradley twice, and Vargas was a top ten contender as well.

No, Rios/Algieri/Vargas weren't world beaters, but they were legitimate world level contenders

Agreed...thats why he is top 2 of this era. He had to change level and did so with seeming ease...hes the competitive guy who takes his chops..learns his lessons and is not afraid to improve upon himself. Generally when he loses its because of something he has done wrong rather than what the other fighter has done right. He finds it and fixes it...simple as that.
