    I actually thought Tito ruined Vargas but DeLaHoya certainly sealed the deal.

    Meldrick Taylor vs JCC I for me. Meldrick looked phenomenal in the first 11 rounds of that fight and never seemed to be able to replicate that performance after that, what a shame.

    Fenech-Nelson 1
    Jeff Fenech's career hit a brick wall after that blatant ripoff in Vegas. Fenech would have become the first man to win 4 world titles in 4 weight classes as an undefeated fighter at the time. Pretty sure he would have been the youngest to do it also at the time. To be honest that stat probably would have 'overstated' his ring greatness but never the less that result totally ****ed the rest of his career.

    Vargas fought great against Oscar. Vargas just couldn't hurt him.

    Diaz came back after the Campbell fight to defeat Katsidis and was taking his punches well. He was looking very good against JMM as well before getting stopped. After that fight, he was getting wobbled by Paulie ****in Mallignaggi.

    Marquez definetly ruined him.

    It definetly sealed it.

    Katsidis was coming off an impressive victory agaisnt Mitchell, and had improved much since his losses to Casamayor and Diaz. However, after the severe beating he took at the hands of JMM, Kats' career took a major major nosedive, and was pretty much becoming a punching bag to his opponents.


    JMM definetly ruined him.

    Vargas wasn't the same after the Tito fight.
