How about Buster Douglas?

A stunning performance against the seemingly invincible Baddest Man on the Planet ....... he was almost perfect that night - great jab, sound technique, good footwark, high workrate, sneaky right hand, strong chin and good heart.

That Douglas could have gone on to do great things and become another Cinderella Man, another rematch with a properly motivated Tyson, fights with a much smaller Holyfield and then maybe superfights agsint the Bowe and Lewis's.

Instead he went straight to the fridge and bombed out.
