Can you name a loss by a Atg were the fighter was not mentally ready for the fight.

I will start off with Duran Leonard 1 were Ray readily admits that Duran got to him in press conferences and even the cold reception by the Montreal crowd cause him to lose early focus and get hurt early thus having to play catch-up. Please site more examples. It does not have to be a loss you can also site performances that were not up to par.

tyson-douglas is the obvious one,,,,

Toney vs roy

Tyson was just suffering from a massive drink & drugs hangover.
He still thought he was going to win easily
If complete & utter fear can be attributed to state of mind, Mike Spinks has to be considered.

Wouldn't consider him an atg but Hatton vs Pacquiao. Roy Jones vs Tarver II, Sonny Liston vs Muhammad Ali, Tyson vs Lewis (Tyson was just there for the pay day), David Haye vs W. Klitschko (or maybe he is just a *****), no mas fight (you know which one haha), Floyd Patterson vs Sonny Liston II, Dwight Muhammad Qawi vs George Foreman (Qawi was only 5'5!!). Ray Leonard vs Hector Camacho.

Your example isn't valid, IMO
Duran was always a better boxer than SRL, Leonard was very smart, but he didn't use that chicken tactics in the first fight, Leonard was more able to adjust to different boxing styles than Duran

When I think about your question, I remember Tyson first loss, and Foreman vs Frazier first fight, and Foreman in his fight with Ali

Foreman wins it always against Frazier, but Frazier was 0% mentally ready .

I think it was the other way around. Duran wasn't mentally, or physically, ready for the rematch, while Leonard turned up to both and put in ATG performances in both. He just didn't understand until he had lost that he couldn't fight his usual fight against Duran in the first one.
