Tyson

Once Douglas showed he could be beaten, his aura of invincibility was gone. He no longer won fights before he stepped in the ring.

He never won again.

Mike Vick?

Nah he wasn't as productive but he picked up some after prison. He had a decent career given the circumstances.

You know he won like 7 more fights after that?

I think going to prison had more to do with him falling apart.

She also beat the ever living shite out of her boyfriend, & claims it was because he was "kidnapping" her. (By blocking the door in a verbal argument)

Chica has issues

As far as your question goes, anderson silva has only won 1 fight since he lost his title to weidman and also got popped for roids. Even his 1 win was a controversial decision.



I think Anderson Silva just got old. He had been dominating for what, six years? Once those amazing reflexes deteriorated, he didn't have a chance vs top competition.

RR was all hype. She kept destroying no name chicks in 13 seconds with an arm bar, she didn't get a whole lot of experience early on bc her opponents were completely overwhelmed. At the time, everyone tried to pretend she was the GOAT instead of the obvious conclusion now that she padded her record with a bunch of no name tomato cans and the second she fought legitimate fighters, she was brutally exposed as the fraud she always was. All hype by UFC bc they had no other stars and she was a new exciting wave. Best pound for pound fighter on the planet

Joe Paterno is the ultimate fall from grace.

He went from being viewed an icon who "did things the right way" to a scum bag who decided protecting the image of his precious football team was more important than protecting defenseless kids.

There were even some who thought she could beat Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match.


Did people ever really say this? I thought it was "she could beat Floyd in a street fight/the Octagon" where she could tackle him?

Another good baseball one is John Rocker. For a brief moment he looked like he was going to be the next great closer. Then people heard him talk and he fell apart from the intense reaction to his douchbaggery.

I mean, they weren't elite at the highest level of football, but Johnny and VY both had pretty big falls from grace.

Ronda Rousey isn't even close to the biggest fall from grace.

Yet will never win another Major... Tiger is A good one here... He lost that TIGER FACTOR after the cheating deal.. Yes injuries have played a part of his dimise but golf Is such A mental game that it was A bigger factor IMO.... AND BTW if his ex wife doesn't basically force him to go to rehab by hanging his visitation of his kids in balance... do you really think he goes to rehab?????

I've never seen such a quick reversal of fortune than that Oregon State pitcher in all my years of watching sports.

Two days before his team is going to the CWS; a few days before the MLB draft - He was ranked 43rd overall on Baseball America's top-500 list; the biggest moment of his life...from CWS potential glory; from potential MLB star, big payday...

Puff...gone in a day.

And now he'll have a hard time finding a job at McDonalds. The only people who will hire him is some job where you are a loner out in the middle of nowhere and never around anyone under 18...picking up trash in the woods by yourself.
