Which fighter got ruined most in their first defeat?

Goldberg

 

Apollo Creed. He didn't fight again except in an exhibition, and he died.

 

:goodYes and i was thinking that as i was writing that post... No matter how great,fast he wa at JW .. That the higher weights were probably not meant for him... Pernell was short too but able to do it because he was so slick,even at Taylors best he still got hit.

 

Jermain Taylor

 

Yes, I agree with you indeed. Life after being a loss to Rocky then being the guys trainer did not help him.:bart

 

<------ my GOAT

 

John The Beast Mugabi

Michael Spinks

James Toney had effectively 10 years off after his first defeat and nearly killed Jackie Kallen the same night!

Michael Nunn won the WBA 168 but was never the same

Darrin Van Horne

Joey Gamache

Don Curry

 

Arthur Abraham. He has never been a great boxer, but the loss against Dirrell kinda took his heart, his will. Especially if you watch the Froch and Bosic fight..

 

Taylor is by far #1
Cotto
RJJ
Vargas

 

acelino freitas was a beast never realy same after his first loss

 

Fixed. His first "loss" was to Griffin. His first defeat was to Tarver...and I agree, he was certainly never the same after.

Those who said David Reid...if you followed his fights leading up to Trinidad, you'd see he was already on the decline. Tito may have expedited it, and in a much more brutal fashion, but Reid was on his way to losing soon anyway (likely via decision...not beat down).

 

Jeff Lacey.

 

:huh He got a rematch with Griffin and ko'd him in the first round and went on a win streak for a few more years






....unless you mean Tarver, then sure :yep.

 

Hatton 1st defeat? Hatton keep on winning after his fight with floyd then he met pac and got sent to the wonderland. After that fight he retired and became a moronic drug user.

 

Michael Stinks
