Can you name fighters who seemed to have lost it after winning a tough fight?

Agreed...not sure about elsewhere but in many parts of the States its 20 seconds.Ref had some flubs and behind the head shots went both ways at times.

Is think its 20 secs if the fighter went out of the ring ala Rahman. but is it also 20 secs if you went just outside the rope but still in the ring?

EDIT :

A boxer shall receive a twenty (20) second count if the boxer is knocked out of the ring and onto the floor. The boxer is to be unassisted by spectators or his/her seconds. If assisted by anyone, the boxer may lose points or be disqualified with such a decision being within the sole discretion of the referee.

I remember a member of the media assisting Nigel Benn but not much i suppose.

Gabriel Ruelas after fighting Jimmy Garcia. Garcia's death haunted him for the rest of his career. He was never the same mentally after that fight.

First names that come to mind are Oliver McCall (after beating Lennox) and Hasim Rahman (after beating Lennox).

Probably a case of neither guy being that great to begin with, but after they found that sweet spot on Lewis' jaw, never truly capitalized on the momentum. McCall beat 87-year-old Larry Holmes in his one successful title defense, then lost to Frank Bruno. Rahman got waxed y Lewis in the rematch, then had the "other head on my head" fight with Evander, and kind of faded from view until he fought James Toney.

Courtney Burton after beating Angel Manfredy. He went 2-5 after that fight, getting knocked out five times. (Manfredy, for that matter, only fought twice after Burton.)

Joe Mesi after "beating" Jirov.

Frazier lost some of his mojo after the first fight with Ali. He did fight on well after, including the brutal third fight however.

Zab Judah after knocking out Spinks in the rematch.

He never has looked that good again, at least not against good competition.
