    With the recent upsets in boxing, which fighter can you remember getting ruined by their first defeat? Fighters that were either hyped or you thought had a lot of potential.

    My pick would be Hamed losing to MAB or Jeff Lacy losing to Calzaghe. Not close to being the same fighters after that first lost.

    Cotto although some will argue that he is still in his prime and I guess a case can be made for that.

    Good question.

    I'd have to say Jaidon Codrington.

    Definitely Jeff Lacey...Tyrell Biggs comes to mind after his destruction by Mike Tyson.

    That's probably the best example there is other than guys who died after a fight like that Korean guy who Boom Boom Mancini beat.

    Forgot about Reid. Tito pretty much destroyed him.
