Fighters who skip the downward slope!

[CGM]

Margarito should be the freshest in our minds.

Nobuo Nashiro wins the title vs. Castillo then loses to Munoz. (To be fair Nobuo had no business wining the title in the 1st place)
Buster Douglas beats Mike then nothing after that.
Foreman blasted Norton in 2, then that same year Ali did a number on him.
Joachime Alcine looks really good vs. Simms then get's blasted by Santos.
Paul Williams beats Margarito then goes on to loose to CQuintana.

Yeah, Foreman looked like a klutz against Ali.

Yes but to me Ali fought the perfect fight against Foreman rather than Foreman not being the same!

That's true. Ali was brilliant, but still, Foreman did not fight smart. He just wailed away at Ali, with little though to tactics or picking his shots. Even Frazier said during the commentary that Foreman was fighting foolish, that he needed to slow down and take his time
