Re: What's more devistating....
Totally dominated hurts a fighter forever,
but getting KO'd in one punch fashion hurts a man's legacy.
Yeah Tyson lost to Douglas and was dominated. But he was forgiven for it, he can even be complimented on it by the amount of damaged he sustained in a classic fight. But to be KO'd in ONE PUNCH... now that changes everybody's whole perspective even more. Just look at the Jones Jr. crowd, they used to be EVERYWHERE, now they are completely gone (almost). And look how Lennox Lewis' career was tarnished by two lucky punches to fighters he should have beat. While one punch KO's don't hurt a fighter's physical health in the long run, it hurt's their overall aura as a legendary fighter.

the irony....
Actually ain't is in the urban dictionary and he did put the apostrophe in the correct place.
Wow the urban dictionary... what two words make up this contraction? also it was ironic that he says the southern grammer and spelling isn't welcome then use "ain't"
Funny that, the word ain't is actaully part of an olde english dialect that was used in most places in the country, but not in the south, where the strict "queen's" english was devised. That was way before America was discovered by the east. Look it up.

If they get one-punched or ko'd in subsequent fights then mayb.
Terry Norris had a glass jaw absolutely. He was hurt by a jab from Simon Brown. And he fact is the punch which knocked out Terry was a clean punch. Regardless of a glass jaw, Julian had some skill to get that punch in.. He landed a clean punch. Even if a guy did not punch hard, to land that punch clean would have hurt Terry even from a light puncher.
Re: What's more devistating....
It's hard to judge julians skill because he was never really forced to rely on it....

I didn't either. And the Johnson knockout was more devastating than the Tarver one. The Tarver knockout in round 2/fight 2 was quick and more from surprise and Jones being caught off guard. The Johnson knockout was from the power of the punch. You have to give Roy credit for keeping on fighting. Hearns kept on fighting also after being knocked out in a similar way from Iran Barkley. I hope if Roy is stopped again that he hangs up the gloves.

I don't know man I mean Tszyu pretty much destroyed Zabs career
I see what you are saying. I don't know if he destroyed it as much as he exposed a big weakness in Zab physically as well as mentally the way Zab reacted after the fight. That fight was not good for Zab's career at all. This last fight with Cotto showed that Zab has alot of heart. Good fight for Zab in comparison to his other fights.
