  2. Michael Grant - once he tasted real HW against Lewis never heard from again.

    I'd say the biggest fall in boxing was after Duran beating one of the best w.w. fighters ever and securing what some have called the greatest win of all time, he quite (No Mas) in the next fight.

    He lost his trainer, his promoter and most of his fans, in one fell swoop.

    Then went on a losing streak against Benitez, and of all people Kirkland Laing.

    Course the difference between him and others, is that he rose again, beating Cuevas, Moore, going the distance with Hagler and beating Barkley, all of which were amazing.

    But for at least one fight, Duran hit the wall harder than anybody.

    Sergio's rapid decline actually makes sense though, he was always one to rely more on his own physicality than boxing skill. He had a torn meniscus, torn ACL and some serious cartillage damage, your body never fully recovers from stuff like that. You could tell he was in trouble just watching his stiff legged ring walk against Cotto.

    Add that to this age and it's a wonder he lasted as long as he did.

    He made barker and Murray look a lot better than they are before his loss to cotto.
    Don curry hit the wall pretty hard after honeygan annihilated him.he was possibly p4p number 1 at the time and looked unbeatable then bang.
    He was never the same again and ended up losing 6-7 fights in the remainder of his career

    Donaire seems to have hit a wall. He got a pumpkin face from Rigondeaux, then won a technical decision on a headbutt after four rounds against Vetyeka, then got clubbed into the canvas by Walters. Donaire needs to go back to fighting smaller less skilled men so he can get back on the pound for pound lists, with his spectacular KO's over tomato cans.

    He was struggling with his inner fat lad, and could no longer restrain him.

    Naz was always lazy. Astonishing he achieved what he did on so little effort. Once he reached a point where he realised the only way to compete at elite level was to work his ass off, he decided to race fancy cars around the streets of Sheffield instead.

    How did Margarito hit the wall? Only one person really LEGITIMATELY beat him Manny Paquaio

    A juiced to the gills Mosely didn't LEGITIMATELY beat him

    Neither did Cotto even tho Margarito only had one good eye for 8 rounds Cotto couldn't put him away Cotto had to rely on that crooked NY doc to save him Quitting AGAIN!!!!!!!
    A 100% Margarito against Mosely juiced to the gills or not Tony would have decimated him
