Not so much lost it but wasn't quite the same guy....Cotto after the the Clottey fight though I will say that I think he was still damaged from the Margarito fight and after that he decided to take on the tornado that is Manny Pacquiao... So there's no shame in any of that. Nomatter what happens in Cottos short remainder of his career or if he decides to continue he had a great career and I thank him for it!

Hatton was never the same after he beat Tszyu, that was his moment and it took it all from him in doing it. Look at his face after that fight, it's a mess.
Ali should never have fought again after the Thriller in Manilla.

Good question now that you raise it. I really wonder if he was.
