Luis Resto vs. Billy Collins Collins never fought again after the beating he got by Resto with the padding removed from his gloves by Panama Lewis.

Michael Spinks vs. Mike Tyson Feet twitching KO's are not a good thing

Mike Tyson vs. Robin Givens She took his manhood on national TV.

Hamhead vs. Barrerra Hamhead fought 1 more time and hung them up.

Carlos Monzon vs. Tony Licata Tony was a local favorite and after the Monzon fight he was never the same.

I'm recent memory
Ward definitely ruined Dawson.
Margarito took a lot out of Cotto.
Salido ended Juanma's career.
Donaire brought Montiel to ruination.
Pacquiao retired De La Hoya.
Pacquiao extracted Hatton's Soul.
Pacquiao made Clottey no longer interested in boxing.
Pacquiao turned Margarito into a pirate and essentially ended his career.
Pacquiao Nearly murdered David Diaz.
I feel Confident saying that Garcia took Whatever spirit Prescott left in Khan.
Hopkins put Pavlik's desire in a duffel bag and walked away with it.
Pavlik left Taylor and entirely different person, he was never the same again.
Hopkins Put a halt to the steam engine that was Felix Trindad and it never got going again.
Martinez performed a demolition on Paul Williams spirit
Sergey Dzinzurik was a very talented Middleweight until Martinez beat him like an addiction he was sick of.
I honestly believe Provodnikov has taken something very dear and personal to Bradley: in Christianity they call it the soul.
I think Floyd beat the warrior spirit out of Gatti in a way no one had ever done.
Tito Definitely took From Vargas all of the ATG potential he had, it was clear Bargas was never gonna be the same.
Tito murdered Joppy's career.
Despite having some nice moments since then, it's safe to say that because of Kosta, Zab never reached his full potential.
Ortiz turned it around and finally played the role of soul snatched against berto.
Froch emptied Bute of all the things that make a man's life worth living.
Tarver put an end to one of the greatest and most feared boxers in recent memory.
Mayorga knocked out Vernon's potential to be great.
You may disagree, but the beating Pacquiao put on Barerra in ther first fight ended him as an elite.
I liked Jirov a lot, but Toney left me with nothing to like anymore.
I think Corales ended Castillo's elite status, he was never the same after that series.
Nate Campbell shut the lights out on a streaking star by the name Juan Diaz.
I think it's fair to say that Maidana took Ortiz's confidence.
There is no doubt in my mind that Donaire is ruined.
I'm not sure who did it, but Arthur Abraham is ruined.
James toney ruined himself.
Vitali gorged on Chris Areola's potential.
Although he had a magnificent career afterwards, I think De la Hoya lost a ton of passion after losing to Trinidad.
Of all the fights he lost, I think the fight against Zahir Raheem was the one that ended Erik Morales as we knew him.
I think Hipkins left a mark that has remained with Antonio and made him something less than the confident brash trash talker he was before they fought.
Someone ruined Tyson, but I Can't decide exactly who.
There's no question in my mind that it was in fact Ruiz who shut the lights out in Holyfield's eyes. Ruiz didn't beat him down he just made Holy struggle so much to the point of Embarrassment considering how much Ruiz sucked .

Haha, good stuff!:rofl

This one though, was Robin Givens:!:

I immediately thought of Meldrick Taylor vs Julio Caesar Chavez, though Terry Norris certainly helped make that so in Taylor's ill-advised move to 154.
Mark Breland vs Aaron Davis (ironic because Taylor who I am saying was essentially ruined post-Chavez 1, boxed beautifully against Davis after this fight)
Andrew Maynard vs (don't laugh) Mike Sedillo -- he would lose to Czyz two fights later, he would fight for a long time after that, but I think Sedillo took something out of him
John Tate vs Mike Weaver (just re-watched that fight...Tate was so far ahead...and it all went out in an instant)

No one ruined Tyson. Tyson just has a hugely deficient mental and emotional stability and sensibilities. He was never going to be on top of his game for a whole career-span. Even today he is still haunted. Tyson ruined Tyson, and it was totally in the script.

Lloyd Honeyghan vs Don Curry

Julio Cesar Chavez vs Sergio Matinez

Klitchsko crushed Adameks HW title dreams

Ricky369 · Sep 3, 2013

Tito vs. Vargas is definitely the classic example.

But I want to mention Foreman Vs. Ali. MAy be didn't ruin the career. But Foreman's punches definitely left a mark on Ali's brain.
