Sometines one loss is all it takes to completely unravel a fighter and they are never the same again. There are different levels to this, for some fighters they just completely fold, others continue to be successful but never shine as well as they once did.
Lets have some examples. Ill start of with Michael Nunn, guyblooked like an absolute star in the making, was destroying people impressively coming through the ranks.
At world level he wiped out Kalambay, Curry, Roldan and Tate but scraped by Starling and Barkley, (good wins still, aint seen either so unsure of precicely how close they were).
Either way he was talked uo as a pound for pound superstar then he met James Toney, took a bit of a battering (in a really good fight) and was never really the same.
Was lucky v Cordoba, squeezed past Sosa, beaten of Little in a huge upset then lost to Liles, just never really saw that promise again.
