Fights that ruined fighters

[bigdunny1]

Sergio/chavez. Won the fight but that knockdown in the 12th ruined his career.

[Strategic1]

Pacquiao/Marquez 4.

Wrong.. pac went on to win some very decent fights after that. Lol...it can be argued it ruined JMM moreso.

Pac-Margarito is the fight that took away his prime. He was never quite the same after.

I've always thought the Hagler/Mugabi fight took something away from Hagler. I wouldn't necessarily say he was ruined, but something was taken away from him in that war. In my opinion, this evident by his loss to Leonard. Every time i watch that fight he doesn't look like the same Hagler that would cut the ring off, effectively close distance, etc...

[Fists_of_Fury]

If Ward is getting credit for Dawson instead of the weight drain I guess we can add Tarver for Roy Jones Jr.

I'm going to say Cotto-Margarito 1

In this case I'm going to say the fighter who won that fight was never the same again, Margarito.
Cotto may have been affected and I'm sure he wouldv'e done a little better in his career than what he has done. But I feel that fight ruined Margarito more than it did Cotto. Be it plaster wraps or not.

Holyfield-Bowe trilogy, even though Bowe won that trilogy, Bowe was never the same again after that.

But he won the Leonard fight...

[HAMMER77777]

Trinidad /David Reid?
Hopkins/Trinidad
Barrera/Hamed

I remember him on SUNDAY Night Fights on Fox Sports, back in, Maybe 1999 Or So. What happened to him? Nice guy!

[The Time]

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

I think Margarito was already ruined going into the Mosley fight.

Even though he won against Cotto seems like he took the worst of that battle.

Similar to Holyfield vs Bowe.
Rid**** Bowe won the trilogy, but he was never the same after that.

Just my opinion.

[DAVID READ]

Grzegorz Proksa/GGG
Pavlik/Hopkins
Jones/Tarver
Lacy/Calzaghe
Spinks/Tyson
