Fighters who skip the downward slope!

Yeah, Foreman looked like a klutz against Ali.

Yes but to me Ali fought the perfect fight against Foreman rather than Foreman not being the same!

True but then didn't Foreman struggle with Ron Lyle straight after he lost to Ali? That was a great fight for as long as it lasted. Both men knocking each other down multiple times. I think I remember the commentators mentioning he may have lost something in the Ali fight. He didn't look the same...he won eventually though

I think Ali psychologically ruined Foreman hence the visit from god after his defeat to Jimmy Young.

Ali had a knack of this turning "indestructables" into chumps! Remember Liston

Another one i've thought of is Tito! He seemed great then fought Hopkins and was never the same again.
