Fighters that were unable to rebound from big losses?

[zak]

Breland post Starling

Nunn post Toney

Buchanan was never quite the same post Duran

Camacho post Rosario

Mosley post Forrest

Graham post Kalambay

Watson post McCallum

Hearns post Hagler

Liston post Ali/Clay

Bowe post Holyfield

Golota post Lewis

Hearns fought on for 20 years post Hagler. During those 20 years he had 2 legit losses, 1tko,1split dec.
Titles won by Tommy Hearns post Hagler;
WBC LT/MIDDLE.
WBC MIDDLE.
WBC SUPER MIDDLE
WBO SUPER MIDDLE.
WBA LIGHT HEAVY.
WBU CRUISER.
IBO CRUISER.
World titles in FIVE DIFFERENT WEIGHT DIVISIONS. POST HAGLER.
If only Tommy could have got past that loss to Marv, maybe the Heavyweight title as well.

hmm....Herol Graham. Julian Jackson. Julio Cesar Chavez actually. Buster Douglas was unable to rebound from the Tyson victory. Riddick Bowe.

Why did I know you would go there....God I've missed you.


































I think it has something to do with my signature below....

His career isn't over. But I've learned to ignore all of your thrusts toward Zab Judah and take it as your way of saying you love me

I am not going to agree with the Tyson one, as he still regained his title afterwards, fought main events and was 'the man' for a while after that loss.

What about Don Curry, though, after Honeyghan beat him up?

How can you disagree with the Tyson choice and than mention Curry? Curry manage to win another title after the Honeyghan loss.

Tommy was never quite the same post Hagler. Sure he won a few bits of alphabet crap, but he peaked in 82 though to 84, and never showed the classic Hitman right hand post Shuler...

And he won his 154lbs alphabet crap pre Hagler and won his only World Championship at 154lbs pre Hagler, when he annihilated Duran.

gotta disagree on the Bowe post Holyfield fight being that he went on to beat evander again, and has yet to lose another fight, although boxrec has him fighting in october (bad decision on riddicks part imo)



i agree a little bit, but i was thinking more along the lines of hamed vs. barerra
its true that riddick started fading away, but im not so sure that was because of holyfield

Bowe peaked with the first Holyfield fight IMO.

After losing to Commander Vander he never regained the form he showed in 92.

And although technically he 'won' the Golota fights, anyome who saw them fights know who really won...

And he looked damn pathetic against some bum... I mean Zumbrum

right about bowe/holyfield one, but bowe lost a sd in holyfield/bowe 2 (not exactly an evander domination) and came back to win the third

as far as the golota fights, bowe was losing but a dq is a dq. if fighting dirty is an issue with golota (it is) then that is a big flaw in his game, just like judahs lack of focus or michael grant's chin

as far as zumbrum, bowe looked terrible but he won the fight and retired afterwards (cant fault him for that, because he knew when to get out)

I somewhat agree with Mike Tyson, however the quality of opponents changed after his loss. Don King was forced to put him up against serious challenges as now he could no longer pick and choose.

michael spinks loss to tyson razor ruddock loss to lewis grants loss to lewis gerry cooneys loss to larry holmes golotas loss to lewis gerrie coetzee loss to frank bruno meldrick taylors loss to chavez

wwatt why do u keep dissing watson we had this arguement before how the hell wasnt he in eubanks class most people think he won the first fight and he fought clever and beat benn so how wasnt he in benns class thats like saying ali put hes gloves up and foreman threw everything and when he was tired ali knocked him out so ali wasnt in foremans class because u might aswell say foreman fought bit like a berk aswell for wasting hes punches i dont know where u got idea that watson wasnt in eubanks or benns class and no watson wasnt on drugs or any of the other bs he just beat hes a** eubank won first 6 rounds plz ... watson out workrated him in first fight and and hell of lot more in 2nd fight and plus id like to have seen benn vs mccallum because benn would prolly got koed aswell

[ICB]

and u say watson was average well eubank and benn must be below average then

[LBSCFC]

definitely naseem hamed. one lacklustre win then he vanished
