Try Vic Darchinyan. But there's a psyche factor.

Unlike Marg. Vic never got involve in any scandal.
Darchinyan never got a beating throughout a fight. Getting outboxed and then 1 punch KO is different than getting a sustained heavy beating on your entire body.

In fact, I am correct that a fighter that gets massively beat down like Margarito, never recovers to beat an elite opponent.
Name the exact guys you're thinking of?

I think it will be interesting to see if the severe beating is the only reason for the demise.
I'm kinda getting stymied and frustrated. I can't think of any.

I was thinking of Tyson or Gatti... but nah, I don't think so.

Maybe Pac's early career?.. But he didn't really take one-sided beatdowns in those 2 KO losses of his.
