I mean JCC obviously shortened his career with that beating, but i don't think he was totally ruined straight after that fight like everyone makes out. He had a very good performance against Aaron Davis, who was fresh off KO'ing Mark Breland in a great fight.

He also beat a good underrated fighter in Glenwood Brown, who at that time was known as a pretty respectful hitter. He floored Meldrick Taylor twice, but Meldrick Taylor fought back hard winning a majority of the rounds in a good performance.

It seems like to me that when he met the bigger/stronger Terry Norris, it all went down from there. And Terry Norris basically finished him as an elite fighter, because he looked bad vs Crisanto Epsana straight after the Terry Norris fight. And never beat anyone worth noting again.

But whats your thoughts ?
