Who has become a Shot fighter faster than Jeff Lacy??

Either that or he was just never any good. I'll go with the latter.

To answer the question, there have been many fighters that have plummeted from the world stage, or even elite status, after a devastating loss. Too many to name, really.

 

A big part of the Lacy story was that he never was "that good" anyway...he wasn't the great fighter people first hyped him to be..hence he's "shot" seems to be what some have thought. All really happend is he got exposed by a great fighter and the bubble burst! The illusion was over!

 

Honeyghan became shot to **** after the Starling loss.

Also that guy that Trinidad beat years ago, was it David Reid?

 

Just to spice up the thread a bit, tyson after buster douglas.

 

Fernando Vargas. I mention him because we know he was the goods, but just had it too much too soon. That Tito fight ruined him and it shows how good he was that he still competed.

Lacy was hugely overrated and Joe C Wales thankfully put us out of our misery.

 

To many to name. How about Ricky Hatton for starts.

 

Pavlik, Brock, Taylor and a number of other American-level professionals.

 

Milton McCrory was shot to pieces after the Curry fight.

 

Or perhaps Jeff Lacy was never good to begin with?

 

great suggestions (especially meldrick taylor, *******)

julian jackson went into free fall pretty quickly after mcclellan, despite his brief reign

ezzard charles, roy jones, and jorge luis gonzalez all fell pretty quickly to

 

I vote David Reed.

 

Juan Diaz, his shine was lost after Nate Cambell fight and looks pretty shot.
Pavlik, and Mijares as well but none that I remember are as bad as Lacy.

 

Pavlik. Though he was always limited, away from the ring he has shot himself.
