Re: Can you name fighters who seemed to have lost it after winning a tough fight?
Camacho Sr after the Edwin Rosario fight.
It's tough to know when it's just one tough fight, or a career adding up.
Morales after the first Pac fight - well, Barrera gave him tougher fights than Pac did the first time round...
Similarly, Hagler after Mugabe was one that sprung to mind. But he'd had a shitload of fights in a long career.
Ali after the third Frazier fight.
Good thread.

Roy Jones after the 1st Antonio Tarver fight, we all know what happened after that. Diego Corrales is another one, he lost 3 straight fights after stopping JLC, and then sadly his life.

Yeah, I totally agree. Neither Corrales or Castillo were the same after their first fight. They both were pretty much shot after that.

Roy didnt take too much punishment in the first Tarver fight. It was a battle for him to lose the weight to make the fight. It caught up to him in the rematch

Bowe was never the same fighter after the first Holyfield fight and he certainly wasn't the same after their second.
