Fighters that were never the same after a loss

Bowe was vastly overrated. Golota humiliated him in the skills department, twice.

 

Perhaps. But according to Nelson was also compromised in the first fight when he was suffering from malaria. Not sure how true his claims are. I agree that Fenech should have won the first fight but Nelson still gets full credit by rectifying it with a convincing knockout win. That was a great showing by the Professor.

 

I guess Ali and Frazier took no damage from each other if thats the case

 

Wilder after the Fury trilogy was very much diminished. But he seemed to take a lot out of Stiverne, Szpilka and Breazeale.

 

As a westling fan myself, great comparison

 

Nice deflection.

 

How is that a defelction?
Bowe and Holyfiled was basically in the same type of wars as Ali Frazier was.
And in truth, Frazier was overrated too. What did he do besides beating an out of his prime 3 years out of the ring Ali? You can say the same argument for Bowe with Holyfield

 

Anthony Joshua after being beaten up by that short, fat Mexican.

 

Wilder seems to have recovered. Now he just looks like an aging version of himself, not a shot version anymore. I assume it was a mental thing (I mean, to still always show up that lean and jacked at his age, he’s clearly taking care of himself physically and avoiding stupid health harming habits)

 

Ruiz is American. But yes.

 

Groves never recaptured the same heights after Froch 1, even though it wasn’t a particularly physically punishing fight

 

Pavlik after Hopkins.
