Jones was never the same after the Ruiz fight.
The move up to heavyweight proved costly once he decided to move back down.

Well the 1st one that came to mind for me was Buster Douglas - had to be one of the most sensational World Title wins in history due to the gulf in class between the two fighters and the huge difference in the betting odds before hand.
He didnt really do much after the win did he

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!

Benn v MClennand took everything out of them.

Nobody knows that mate. People always talk about a long count in Round 1, but there wasn't one, a fighter can be afforded extra time if they go outside of the ring. The time difference between G Man's last punch landing and Benn being back on his feet was 10 seconds. Admitedly the ref did keep breaking them after that which was unexplainableYeah... Benn was never the same. Man, imagine how that landscape would have changed if that fight was properly refed......
