    Roy Jones Jr.
    Erik Morales- Went from beating Pacquiao, to getting dominated by Zahir Raheem, to then getting KO'd twice by Pacquiao and then losing to David ****ing Diaz.

    Roy Jones, Jr. is the first to come to my mind. He didn't just gradually stroll down the hill, rather he was knocked off of the mountain top and fell with great impact!

    I agree RJJ and tyson are the two obvious answers!

    Paul Williams is up there aswel.
    I think Jermain Taylor being ktfo was a big shock at the time.

    Not even the best recent example in his weight class, who would be Mijares.

    I'd go with Naseem Hamed.

    I would have to argue with you there. Douglas stepped up in one fight. I wouldn't call him an unstoppable machine.

    Margarito is the most obvious. I think the most dramatic were Taylor and RJJ
