Fighters who deteriorated alarmingly quickly

not sure if it's been said, but john mugabi after hagler

 

Frazier wasn't shot after 71 just past-prime. You could make a case for him being shot after Manila.

 

lyold honeyghan went rapidly downhill he was shot within 18 months of the curry fight .

 

Saad Muhammad. He looked pretty good against Jerry Martin and early in the first Qwai fight he was moving well and looked pretty sharp. Then, the beating he took late in the first Qwai fight and the beating in the 2nd fight took everything. At 28 years old he was completely shot. Against Eric Winbush in ealy '83, he could barely get any punches off. Same in early '84 against Willie Edwards. Only his heart allowed him to last 11 rounds against Edwards.

 

Rex Layne after Marciano and Charles!

 

Great picks ...

 

Jaime Garza,,,,,,,Super Bantamweight Champion,
Never recovered from the Juan Mesa loss.

Alfonso Zamora,,,,,,Bantamweight Champion
Never recovered from the Carlos Zarate loss.

Mac Foster,,,,Heavyweight
Never recovered from the Jerry Quarry loss, depite going 15 rounds with Ali.

 

Francisco "Panchito" Bojado He simply disappeared after 07 and a relatively short career with a lot of folks proclaiming him the next up and comer.

 

Sean O'grady wasn't much to start out with but he hit the skids in a scary way after the Kenty fight.

 

Hmm. Ray Leonard?

 

"Pinklon Thomas, Donald Curry, Jimmy Paul, Livy Bramble, Tyrell Biggs, Aaron Pryor, Barry McGuigan, Leon Stinks, Michael Olajide and Ricky Hatton," as well as a few others came and went to hell quickly.....

MR. BILL,

That's Arturo Frias to you

Here's one
Frankie 'Rootin Tootin' Newton
Ron 'The Bluffs Brawler' Stander (He did knockout Earnie Shavers)

 

Newton was a lightweight... He was a black dude who screwed his knee up in a motorcycle accident.... I have his fight off ESPN with Terrence Alli.... Alli TKO'd Newton somewhere in the 3rd or 4th rds....... Christ, that must've been circa--'85....
