    Katsidis had already been in a ton of wars leading into the JMM fight so I wouldn't consider the JMM fight being the sole reason for "losing it"

    well most people didnt think bowe was shot as he was a huge favorite(esb link says golota+700)but he definately wasnt "shot" going into the fight prior with holyfield as he was a 3-1 favorite against evander who had just beat a still prime mercer.

    I would say Peter vs Vitali

    Mormeck vs Oneil Bell II

    Haye vs Mormeck and even Macrinelli

    Wlad Klitschko and Calvin Brock

    Lennox Lewis vs Hasim Rahman II, I know he wound up getting the WBC again but he was never able to regain what he won in the first Lewis fight

    Manny Pacquiao vs David Diaz

    Potentially Randal Baily vs Mike Jones

    Antonio Margarito vs Kermit Cintron II

    Kelly Pavlik vs Edison Miranda

    Miranda was terrorizing the MW divisions of boxing before that fight.
