Which fighter got ruined most in their first defeat?

Tyson?

 

Vargas, Hamed, Jeff Lacy, Darchinyan, Tyson

 

Darchinyan!?!?!? How??? He had his best wins after his first defeat.

 

Wilfredo Gomez

 

Carlos Zarate is another good shout i think...Wasnt really quite the same after the Bazooka beating. Same with Alfonso Zamora after the Zarate beating.

 

1 of the all time sad stories,......meldrick taylor!

 

Fernando Vargas he's career could have turned out very different if he hadn't fought Tito so early on

 

To those saying Tyson - I've heard the sentiment many times over that Tyson's biggest win was against Razor Ruddock (which is in its own an argument itself), and that was after his loss to Douglas...so if you agree that Ruddock was his best win, then it would be hard to say he was ruined before his biggest victory.

 

Hatton

 

Hamed wasn't the same fighter for a few years BEFORE he fought Barrera and was just a shell of the former devasting fighter he was.

Lacy. Definately

 

Well, Starling was the first guy to actually beat his ass. But Jorge Vaca won a techincal decision over Lloyd for his 1st loss, I believe.

 

Micheal Grant, David Reid and in his first career George Foreman against Ali.

 

Did you guys actually follow his career and watch his fights after Chavez?

His abilities declined less and he had far better wins and performances post-Chavez 1 than some other champs after his first loss.

 

Lacy.

End of thread.
