Biggest Crashes in a Fighter's Stock

Victor Ortiz quitting against Maidana

 

People were so eager for "the next Ali" that John Tate was getting tons of hype, but Mike Weaver ended that.

Many people were rating Donald Curry as top p4p fighter in the world until Honeyghan.

 

Mosley was considered by many as possible p4p no. 1 before the fights with Forest. That was really shocking to me when he lost.

He went from a 38-0 record before meeting Forest in January 2002 to a final career record of 49-10-1 - that's 11-10-1 in his last 22 fights.

 

I was pretty high on Leonard Dorin. Then Gatti caught him with that liver shot and he retired.

 

Mijares being crushed by Darchinyan, loads of people thought he was the real deal and a future lower weight great.

Margarito after the Mosley fight, both because of the hand-wrap skullduggery and how easily old past-it Shane threw him about and broke his supposedly iron chin.

Kalambay vs Nunn was about as distastrous a result any fighter has had in a big unification fight.

Mandell being KO'd by Singer in the first really hurt his standing. He was a great fighter though, Sammy.

Becerra just vanishing and retiring while still champion after Eloy Sanchez knocked him out in their non-title fight, he was a popular and highly regarded champion.

Lacy dropped a bit.

 

Great example!

 

Willard's loss to Dempsey (not really fair as he was way past it)
Tommy Burns's loss to Jack Johnson

Max Schmeling's loss to Louis
Floyd Patterson's losses to Liston

 

Super Gato GONZALES .& Sean O Grady 1981

 

Grant and Golata sure dropped after they met Lennox. Ruddock > Lewis was another one.
Howard Davis' stock dropped a ton > the Watt fight.
Terry Norris dropped a magnitude or two after the Simon Brown ko.
Chavez' stock dropped quite a bit after that Randall loss.
Look at how much Hagler's stock dropped after that Leonard loss.
Moorer's stock price plummeted after the ko to big George.
Mike Spinks > the Tyson blowout.
Galindez' stock dropped a ton when he lost to Rossman.
Wilfredo Gomez dropped a ton losing to Sanchez as well.

 

Hamed after his loss to Barrera

 

Roman Gonzalez's back to back losses to Sor Rungvisai, especially the KO4 loss dropped his P4P greatest status big time.
