Vernon Forrest won FOTY after giving p4p king Shane Mosley two monumental ass whippings, only to drop two straight to wild brawler Mayorga the next year.

Trinidad won FOTY in 2000 and got embarrassed by Hopkins in 2001.

Carbajal won in '93 and got upset twice by Humberto Gonzales in '94.

To be a bit morbid, Salvador Sanchez won in '81 and got killed in a car accident in '82.
