Fighters who were "never the same" after losing...

dont know if anyone mentioned meldrick taylor after jcc but man what **** luck, dude is wailing away on jcc for 35 3/4 minutes and loses on a tko. id be pissed too if i were him, but he was all effed up and it was a good stoppage.

still, he could have been saved by the bell, it was the 12th and i think the rule was in effect at that time.

 

Meldrick Taylor, Riddick Bowe, RJJ, Castillo, Fretias

 

Judah

 

medrick taylor is the best example

 

I agree after he lost to Honeyghen he became kind of a brawler. When he was a master boxer/puncher.

 

He was a shell to begin with....

 

Jeff Fenech after the bogus draw against Azumah Nelson. It crushed him, you could see his desire just disappear. (not a loss, but it obviously felt like one).

Don't agree with Hamed really. That loss had been coming for a couple of years the way he wasn't training, and disappeared up his own arse.

Michael Grant, there's a beauty!!!!

 

Taylor after Chavez
Reid after Trinidad
Vargas after Trinidad
Mayorga after Trinidad
damn Trinidad ****ed a lot of people up..:yep
Corrales after Castillo
Castillo after Corrales
Mayweather after Hatton
Joe Lipsey after Hopkins [he never fought again]

 

theres a guy here longhorn who knows the whole story. he said that pre honeygan, his original team was strongarmed out of the way by some supposedly powerful people... Curry didnt object to this and was so ill prepared for the lloyd fight. The rest is history

He could have been the greatest..thats whats so sad..there are alot of fighters wo regressed after a fight but none had Donald Currys pedigree. Like I said in 84-85 he had SRR greatness all over him

 

Tyson after he lost to Douglas
Zab Judah after he lost to Baldomir
Lacy after he lost to Calzaghe

. . . are the most notable ones.

 

I think Judah lost alot after tszyu ktfo him, he was a phenom before then, and afterwards he didnt have the same focus or hunger that he had earlier, i dont thin he ever recovered from that monster right hand, "Dont ever play with matches!"

 

Bowe after getting beat up by Golota.

Although TECHINICALLY he didnt lose... but yet, he did... you know what I mean

 

Blah blah blah. You do realize the Brewster-Wlad II fight was almost the mirror image of the first one, but this time Wlad didn't get gassed. You also realize that Brewster threw and landed more punches in the second fight. Get a clue.

You continually try and discredit Wlad but in the process, you are only discrediting yourself in the process.

 

Tyson after Douglass. The aura was gone.

Grant after Lewis. He was nowhere near as bad as people try and claim him to be. He just absolutely lost it mentally.




Guys you have to give credit to for coming back strong after humiliating losses:

Evander
Lennox
Wlad

 

Im not the only one that said that, he was less willing to engage at least in the first fight he was able hurt Wlad in the 3rd round leading Ledderman to give him that round, he hurt Wlad with a stiff jab.

But in your opinion its ok to say there was something wrong with Wlad in the first Brewster fight, but its not ok to say there was something wrong with Brewster in the second fight?
