You can't include Pac Margacheato if you don't include Pacquiao/Marquez 4. Pac won fights after Margacheato.

Let's analyze this.

Pacquiao wasn't gunshy until he got slept by Marquez. He tried to KO Bradley the first time and failed. But he tried. After the sleeping, he hasn't actually tried to knock anybody out. Who cares about winning when you're a KO artist who no longer goes for a knockout, finds Jesus, etc.? No, Marquez ruined him psychologically.

He went for the ko against JMM.. because he got knockdown earlier in the fight... when that happened, pride kicked in and he wanted to avenge it.

Pac's fierceness was Nowhere close to that after Margs. It was only because the pac-jmm fight was competitive and he got knocked down that the fierce pac tried to go for the ko.

Michael Spinks' L to Mike Tyson. He's rich as f#ck, but that dude has been in public like 11 times in nearly 30 years since that fight.

Mattyhsese V Garcia - both never the same again.

Some things money just can't buy and that's his peace of mind, he was traumatised in that fight. He faced a pi$$ed off Tyson and you could see the fear in Spinks face even before the fight began. I felt sorry for him actually, because he's a happy go lucky type who wears his heart on his sleeve. I don't think he ever got ever that brutal KO.

Mattyhsese V Garcia - both never the same again.

This ^^^^ both were never the same after that. I picked Danny to win but Lucas did take something out of him that night.

Mosley vs Margarito

Mayweather vs Hatton

Mayweather vs Mosley

Pacquiao vs Rios

Hopkins vs Pavlik

Kovalev vs Pascal

Kovalev vs Hopkins

Badou Jack vs Degale

You can't ruin a fighter if said fighter is way past their prime and just a shell of their prime self.

Vargas and Mayorga could never take a punch as good after Trinidad KOed them. I think Chavez ruined Taylor not the other way around. GGG may not have ruined Brook but he hurt him. Spence finished the job. Kovalev ruined Pascal although Pascal was never that good. Crawford may have helped ruin Gamboa. Pavlik ruined Jermaine Taylor. Froch ruined Butte. There are tons of fights that ruined fighters and those are just a few.

Taylor & Chavez weren't the same after that fight.
