    I'd say...
    1) Tyson (biggest of all no question)
    2) Margarito (after the Mosley fight and exposure)
    3) RJJ (after Tarver and Johnson losses)
    5) Rahman (after Lewis loss)
    4) Buster Douglas
    6) Lacy (after Calzaghe whoopin)
    7) Nas
    8- Pavlik (after B Hop loss)
    9) Trinidad (after Winky loss)
    10a) Taylor (after Froch loss.. or maybe 3nd Pavlik loss)/ (10b) Hatton (after Pacman KO/ Mayweather KO's.....)

    those are mine. ones I actually witnessed

    I agree with most of those. I think people are being too hard on Douglas. I was not alive when he bet Tyson but surely no one though he would back that performance up against Holyfield? He was just an average fighter throughout his career who put in a great effort to beat Tyson.

    Jeff Lacy didn't do enough, to be honest to be considered a "fall from Grace". Margarito and RJJ, DEFINITELY. RJJ was P4P NUMBER 1... hit the pinnacle of picking up a heavy weight title, then he fights tarver and looks terrible, like he had very little stamina, then goes on to get brutally KO'd in any significant fight against OKAY-TO BAD competition. It was like overnight. Went to sleep unstoppable, woke up everything but unstoppable.

    Margo... reached a pinnacle in destroying Cotto, then the next fight he gets just RAPED by Molsey horrifically... then has his license taken way, doesnt fight for a long time, because hated in boxing when he just became loved, then comes back gets brutalized by Pac and his his face broken to pieces. boxing is not for the faint of heart.

    Valero is a good shout... the guy JUST gained recognition in America... i mean HE JUST got cleared to fight in America, but a quality good by pure domination, saw his pedigree... boxing skills, he was far from just a puncher... then he goes crazy and kills his wife and himself. WTH?

    Joel Julio is one who was hyped to the moon and back who doesn't usually get mentioned in these threads.

    Sonny liston was a good one from the past.he had the same era about him as tyson where he was thought of as unstoppable after smashing heavyweight champion patterson in the first round in back to back fights.then had the misfortune to run into the up and coming greatest hw of all time who fought the perfect fight and possibly his finest.in the rematch I think there can be little doubt he took a dive,if you watch his fights with cleveland williams and see the type of punches he could take,there is no chance alis punch kos him.then he disappeared off the radarfighting bums and eventually getting badly ko'd by leotis martin

    George foreman similarly.he was knocking top top fighters out with ease and no one thought he would be beaten,then he runs into the same guy that finished liston and was humiliated and was never the same fighter later losing to ellis and retiring.his later rise to grace was remarkable tho
