    - Barrera-Morales - neither fighter was the same after they beat the crap outta each other. The Pacquiao matches destroyed whatever was left of the great Morales

    - Margarito-Cotto - both fighters left something in the ring that night.

    - The Chavez Jr. fight effectively ruined Martinez' career and turned him into a cripple overnight, so Cotto could prey on him later on. No credit whatsoever for Cotto for beating Crippletinez

    - Two mexicans destroyed Pacquiao's prime, Margarito physically and Marquez' psychologically.

    - Trinidad ruined Vargas

    - Chad Dawson got ruined by his fight with Ward, where he was badly weight drained, he even got KO'd by featherfisted Ward. Stevenson destroyed whatever was left of Chad

    - Montiel and Darchyinian were never the same after getting brutally KTFO by Donaire

    - Donaire was never the same after getting spanked by Rigo

    - Abners Mares was never the same after Gonzalez put him to sleep

    - GGG ruined Kell Brook, Rubio, Prokza and probably others

    Agree. The brave Matthyse got ruined even further by the Provo fight afterwards (which also ruined Provo)

    Garcia's career as a top fighter has lasted longer because he's been cherrypicking bums and avoiding punchers for years, until his recent comeuppance with Thurman

            I remember reading it along time ago and looked for it, I found it on Reddit. I think the original article was from the Ring Magazine, printed version.

                  What do you mean? Hopkins was way past his prime but still could operate on a high level and so did Mosley and Pacquiao!

                  All were ruined from what they could do by other fighters so I don't understand what your trying to say!

                      Yes, both guys were damaged although Arguello was done in very badly.
