    What are some examples of a fighter who was never the same after suffering a big loss?

    I'd start with Roy Jones Jr. after Antonio Tarver knocked him out. From that point on, RJJ was afraid to let his hands go.

    Kelly Pavlik, Tito Trinidad and Jermaine Taylor all were never the same after facing the supposed light hitting Hopkins, even though Taylor officially got the Ws against him....
