Punchers who lost their invincibility.

Foreman
****ey
Engels Pedroza
Alfonso Zamora
Gomez loss something against Sal Sanchez

 

naz & lacy. donnaire too, but that was his second loss.

 

Benn after McClellan.he was never the same mentally or physically.all you can say is he didn't end up like Gerald thank god.

 

I would say that Benn lost his aura of invincibility when he lost to Michael Watson.

 

Yep, long gone by then. Maybe he lost a tad of enthusiasm and aggressiveness?

 

Paul Fuji

 

Nope

A very young and green Foreman lost to the greatest of all time.

 

Peter
Lacy
Tyson

 

Agree JT1.

With the passing years Benn morphed from a reckless 160lber to a more mature rounded SMW (particularly the Wharton fight) but the McLellan fight...my god I've never seen anyone BRAVER. After going that deep into your mental and physical resources, how could anybody want to dig that deep ever again?

 

Totally agree with all of it beeb.

 

Jaime Garza after he lost to Juan Meza

Garza was so hyped, I remember reading about him in USA Today. He was getting a ton of press - even though his competition had been weak. He won the spurious IBF title over Bobby Berna.

I remember KO magazine, in about 1987, writing a summation of Garza after a loss -

"All offense, no defence - no good."

Of course they had hyped him earlier.

 

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr, but they seem to be the obvious answers.

Donald Curry should be worth mentioning.

 

He drained the well that night for sure.I was there that night something I will never forget.

 

Find a puncher who was rendered any more impotent than Paul Fuji was vs Nicolino Locche. The physical punishment that he took was minimal compared to his being totally discouraged and defeated mentally.
