He took a beating in the Gavilan fight didn't he. I remember having highlights of that fight on VHS when I was a kid.

Two budding billionaires spring to mind

Adrien Boner & Matthew Ellis

Broner still thinks he's worth billions. He was mad for not signing with Eddie when he had the change.

Probably does. He's a guy who has made very silly decisions in and out of the ring.

Should have stayed near his natural weight for a start. And he's likely to end up fighting in school halls in tank towns for chump change, getting beaten up by prospects, if he stays out of jail for that long.

Kelly Pavlik only had 1 more fight that mattered after losing to Hopkins, and he lost it.

Curious decision by management throwing him in with Keed.

Tim Tszyu is a classic example.

Milt McCrory.

Orlando Salido (he improved - could have down to some illegal substances, however)
Mickey Ward (a whole lot better)
Juanma Lopez
Yuriorkis Gamboa
Eddie Hopson

Hamed....that's a dead good shout.
Barrera did something that night.

Bernard Hopkins and Juan Manual Marquez

Both of them had the best professional careers they could ask for.

Multiple world titles at different weights.

Good picks! Some guys got better after a loss.

Yeh, so when saying 'never the same', it could mean they completely changed it around.

I have a feeling some things were happening to Milton before he even won the world title, like his hand problems. .

wlad klit was an offensive juggernaut when younger. double and triple left hooks, big uppercuts, 4-5 punch combos. seek and destroy, explosive fighter.

youd never guess watching him in the last 2/3 of his career - his jack johnson jab and hug stage. i guess it worked for him and prolonged his career.

- Henry Armstrong lost his debut inside 3 rounds by KO before recovering for one of the all time great records.

Wlad lost his first fight by TKO when his amateur trainer stopped stopped a fight he was dominating before recovering for the finest heavyweight record recorded that challenged that of Joe Louis. Wlad and Vitali may have been the most significant heavies turning pro with their amateur trainer, https://boxrec.com/wiki/index.php/Fritz_Sdunek.

Fritz has a who's who of notable fighters starting in the late 1990s. Why he ain't in the IBHOF is a stain on boxing.
