List some examples of boxers ruining other boxers

Jesus "El Matador" Chavez had his career ruined by his win over Leavander Johnson; he was never the same again after that fight.

 

GGG -> Proksa

TT -> Price

Wlad -> Haye

 

Did Randall Bailey ruin mike Jones career? :lupe:

 

is that the guy he killed? i remember he quit boxing over it and the family of his opponent contacted him and told him not to give up on boxing

 

ray robinson was ruined by Jimmy Doyle (who ray robinson killed in the ring)


everyone around him and even he himself admitted it took a big toll on him. he lost his killer instinct

 

Well we can't be sure yet of course but;-

Ward - Dawson

Some say that Zab Judah was never the same after Kostya Tsyu, but 'ruined' is probably a bit too strong a word.

Benn - McClellan's already been mentioned, but as I understood it the damage to McClellan is thought to have been building over a long period. The Benn fight was more the straw that broke the camels back.

I'm not sure if ring deaths form a part of this discussion, but there's obviously a couple that could be mentioned.

 

Vitali -> Lewis

 

Hagler and Mugabi were never the same after their war.

 

Roberto Duran/Davey Moore

Julio Cesar Chavez/Edwin Rosario

Lloyd Honeyghan/Don Curry

Mike McCallum/Don Curry

Aaron Pryor/Alexis Arguello

Livingstone Bramble/Ray Mancini

Gene Hatcher/Jonny Bumphus

 

Bramble was such a ****ing dick. That guy absolutely raped Mancini mentally. No one has ever been as effective at ****ing with a man's psychology.

 

hagler only had 1 fight afterwards, and it was a disputed loss vs SRL...hardly enough to say he was ruined or not the same afterward. Mugabi, went on to win a world title and was never a middleweight to begin with....., where 90% of his losses came at, that and higher

 

so curry was ruined after the Honeyghan fight got unruined and fought mccallum only to be ruined again

 

Haye looks just the same to me. Time will tell if Thompson ruined Price or just (much as I hate this term) exposed the fact he wasn't ready for that level.

I'd say Tito-David Reid. Reid took a horrible beating in that fight.

 

Wlad is 37 y/o. Probably won't fight again after Potvetkin till he's 38 and it will likely be Pulev.

So, there is a very REAL possibility that Haye and Wlad will meet again, possibly just prior to Wlads 40th birthday.

And that gives the very REAL possibility for David Haye making good on his promise to dethrone Wlad.

Haye is by NO MEANS ruined. :nono

Good shout on Price and Proxa though.:good

 

Seems he did. But Bute did fight a version of Grachev that could potentially destroy his career.

The book is still out on Bute. He was injured during the Johnson fight, and was never healed. He's getting right now, and will meet Pascal directly.

If Bute beats Pascal, he's still top3 at LHW. By no means ruined.

But, he should avoid Kovalev like the plague.:yep
