    Jose Luis Castillo vs Diego Corrales is an obvious one

    Not as obvious as Taylor/ChavezI.....

    I know because what happened it may sound a bit arrogant, but Benn himself was ruined post McClellan.

    Honeyghan ruined Curry

    Hagler ruined Mugabi

    Rosario ruined Camacho (senior)

    The Ruiz fight ruined Jones

    Battling Nelson vs Ad Wolgast II

    Both fighters left everything in the ring not just in terms of their careers but also in terms of their physical and mental health.

    That is one aspect about the old time fighters I love that I pray we never see again.

    Is this the fight where Nelson also left his dinner, the night before, all over the ringside fancy?

    Yeah... The drugs, weight draining, loss of interest in the sport and death of half his family had nothing to do with that.

    Yet he was coming off brutalizing the Iceman, less than a year earlier.

    Honeyghan annihilation of Curry had a lot to do with The Cobra's down fall in boxing.

    Obviously
    Benn-McCellan - not just GMAN but Benn too
    Eubanks - Watson - eubanks wasnt quite the same fighter again

    Ali-Frazier III..... that fight literally finished both guys.

    Morales-Barrera I.... neither was ever able to fight at that pace again.
