Mayorga was never the same after taking a beating from Tito Trinidad


I think the 12th round of manny-morales 1, when morales turned southpaw and got repeatedly drilled by manny. Morales was never the same after that

I've never thought about the morales one... but you may be on to something with that. He took a ton of punishment... but to answer his question post fight I loved it! Epic fight with an epic ending.

To add on the pacquiao I thought he was never the same after marg. I saw a post fight video where pacquiao looked in really bad shape, and heard rumors he was bed ridden for the next 3 weeks.

Agree on the first two, but Groves has looked good recently so maybe he's having a career resurgence.

David Price vs. Tony Thompson, although David Price was more of a prospect anyway.

Groves has made a low key comeback and just won a belt..Hes prob the best at 168 right now..ruined?

Groves is not the same since the Froch fight. He is stiff, a little chinny, tense. He's winning, but look who he's beating. Let's not forget how Jack wrecked him.
Don't get me wrong, I've liked Groves for over 5 years now. He's one of the guys I always root for, but Carl took something out of him that he'll never get back.

Vasquez/Marquez instantly comes to mind. Those fights literally ended Israel's career

[Mister Wolf]

Crawford/Postol. Postol has disappeared off the face of the earth. I guess he took that first loss real hard.

[Ray*]

Mike Alvarado v Brandon Rios.... Brandon Rios v John Murray..

[Mike D]

all roads lead back to Sutherland/Rainford

I know Kenny got the W but he was never the same after going through absolute hell to get that W. A part of Kenny Rainford's soul died in the ring that night.

Wow, do u Know him, personally? This is sad to hear.

Sad, yes, know him, no.

Matthew Saad Muhammad was never the same after the first Qawi fight, John Mugabi was never the same after Hagler, Merqui Sosa and Prince Charles Williams ruined each other after their 2 fights Pipino Cuevas was never the same after Hearns although IMO it was the Shields fight right before that did him in Hearns just put the cherry on top
