Jeff Lacey.....Calzaghe broke him in every single department and although Jeff was sometimes competitive....the big future of multiple championship belts and mega-fights was brutally axed in Manchester.

couple of mexicans I would put in there

Alfonso Zamora
Pipino Cuevas

Davey Moore was never the same after Duran

Also Errol Christie from the uk

You have to be careful with this "never as good after the first loss" as it can often be a case of just never being as good as people thought and being found out. A lot can also depend on the manner of the loss.

I also feel that experiences such as weight making can leave scars. I think that is what happened with Don Curry, and I dont think Gavin has been the same since his weightmaking nightmare back from the Olympics.

Um, Cuevas had six losses when he won his belt. Then he made 11 defenses, 10 by KO. So I think he got "on track" after his first loss, which came in his first fight at age 13

Barry McGuigan

McGuigan lost in his third fight and went on to win a featherweight belt. So he too "got back on track after his first loss"

[Heartbreak_Kid79]

Michael Grant was touted as the next big thing in the HW division
I remember some US sites even had him as favourite over Lennox in 2000.

2 rounds later it was over.... and Grant lost his next fight to Jameel mccline a year later

Michael Gale
Tony Silkstone was devastated by his loss and never got over it - a tragic thing.

[Counter-puncher]

Barry McGuigan

McGuigan lost in his third fight and went on to win a featherweight belt. So he too "got back on track after his first loss"

Good point i'd forgotten the early loss
