Fighters that were never the same after a loss

Joyce vs Zhang and Ibeabuchi vs Tua.

 

Mahyar Monshipour, Nordine Oubaali, Christophe Tiozzo, Tony Yoka, Alexis Rocha, Gino Gelormino, Amnat Ruenroeng, Ginjiro Shigeoka, Victor Ortiz, Donald Curry, John Mugabi, Jerwin Ancajas with his two wars with Fernando Daniel Martinez, Kosei Tanaka, Sho Kimura, Cristofer Rosales....

 

Bobo Olson after Archie Moore knocked him out.

 

Holyfield was done before Lewis. His fights with Mike masked how shot he really was because Mike let him clinch so much.
The deteroriation was more visable when he coudln't rest and clinch vs Lewis 1

 

I disagree in regards to Tyson/Douglas.

It was a shocking defeat but Tyson actually regained well after that fight.

He had 2 first round stoppages over credible opponents in Alex Stewart, Henry Tillman.

And then he went on to show his toughness in two slugfests vs a very dangerous puncher in Razor Ruddock.

What derailed him was the prison sentence not so much the Douglas loss IMO.

 

Jeff Lacy after the beat down by Calzaghe.

 

Jeff Fench after getting stopped by Azumah Nelson

Ivan Calderon after losing to Giovanni Segura

Amir Imam after losing to Adrian Granados

 

David Tua went on to beat guys like Hasim Rahman, Michael Moorer, Shane Cameron. He was never gonna beat Lewis and Byrd just based on styles.

 

Alex Garcia after the Mike Dixon shocker

 

Ricardo Mayorga after the Trinidad fight. Maybe just a case of stepping up the class of his competition, but that same machismo of letting himself be hit with free shots didn't work out quite as well versus Tito as it did versus Vernon Forrest.
