Riddick Bowe never beat another decent opponent ever again after beating Holyfield, but you could mention his third fight against Holy, but Holy was on better form in their second fight. Oliver McCall was a one hit wonder after knocking Lewis out. Bruno only had one decent win on his record then flopped in his first defense, going to retire straight afterwards. Randy Turpin beat Ray Robinson then after losing the rematch fell apart completely, he even killed himself eventually because he couldn`t live without the attention and acclaim he got after winning the middleweight title.

There was more to Turpin's suicide than that.

Yeah, Turpin had A LOT of issues. Losing the title didn't help, but it's just part of a much longer list of issues.
