From Unbeaten Beasts to Broken Men. Fighters Who Really were never the same again???

This is a great thread...:yep

Some really interesting posts...:good

 

I dont think Cotto's loss to Margarito took that much from him, i just think Cotto fought above himself for a while, but like all fighters he plateaued on a level where you would of expected him to get it to before he exceeded your expectations, essentially were we left with a reflection of how good Cotto was. I also think Cotto stance made a lot of his fights harder than they should of been because it left him so open to certain punches. I seem to remember Manny Steward commenting on how Cotto's stance concerned him, words to that effect anyway.

 

Bones Adams was weird, he was in keeping to the thread in that the Canizales fight did ruin him; too much, too young. But after a few more bad defeats, he did learn and came back strong in 1999/2000. Not many fighters do that, Clarence deserves a lot of credit.

 

I think Adams was down to fight last weekend?

Nunn was a fave of mine when I was a kid, mainly because my Dad really liked him. But yeah, agree with this.
