Great Fighters with the Worst Demise?

If you throw pavlik in the discussion then you gotta have jermain taylor.. He went from young undefeated champ with wins over an ATG, but then two losses to pavlik, froch, abraham... He basically became a mini-roy jones with all those horrible ko losses...

Yeah but he lost to guys with genuine KO power and his stamina all but deserted him against guys in the bigger weight division. Taylor wasn't exceptionally skilled but he beat Hopkins and barely got past Winky due to his work rate. When he lost that ability, he was exposed.

Matthew Saad Muhammad and Mando Ramos. Within a year and a half of losing their titles they were getting beat up on by clubfighters.
