He probably kept his power but everything else diminished. He lost his passion & with it the desire to break a guy down. He had quickie knockouts...
I remember Mike Williams losing to Witherspoon. Guy was definitely built like a Rocky fighter though! Of the crop of young heavyweights that came...

I haven't seen much of Thomas but I'm not impressed with his jab so far. Throws an awkward jab from the waist. Seems to have some power though. I...
