    Naz and Cooney come to mind first. I think Foreman had some problems after Ali outfoxed him.

    Trinidad arguablly. He lost then seemed to lose his edge and that good ol Tito swager and energy and retired soon after.

    Diego Corrales didn't handle his loss to Mayweather too well. As a matter of fact, when I saw his post-fight interview, I thought to myself " this seems like the type of guy who will NEVER recover from this " ofcourse I ended up eating my words on that one.

    Davey Moore after he lost to Duran - went 6-4 to close out his career
    John Mugabi after he lost to Hagler - was KO'd in 1 by Duane Thomas

    Naseem Hamed. He practically quit after his first loss or maybe Judah with that tantrum he threw after being knocked senseless.

    Toney looking to gun down his manager, would that count as not taking the first defeat too well?

    Alfonso Zamora, was a good undefeated ko artsit before he lost to carlos zarate.
    After that he was never the same.
