Fighters whose career never progressed after getting their biggest win?

I was just thinking it's been a little over 2 years since Rigo made a big statement against Donaire but since then he hasn't been in any big fights due to ducking, management issues etc. Last fight was against an unknown fighter. HBO want nothing to do with him at the moment.

My question is what are some other examples of this?

BQ: Do you believe Golovkin let Monroe hit him at times in their fight?

    Andre Ward. He's done nothing of Note since 2011 over Carl Froch but feels he's the most entitled guy in boxing. He's fought 2 times in the last 4 years. I think He's best (financial move) would be to stage a fight with Sergey Kovalev at 175lbs I think m any would love to see that fight

    BQ: Enough with the Golovkin hype. It's really getting annoying. He's currently the most over hyped fighter in the sport of boxing. Easily.

    So much is built on PPV buy-rate a boxer can generate -- it is almost like a race team selling a seat in a hot rod to the driver who has the best sponsorship package.....a less-than-talented fighter will be protected if he can justify the bottom line -- a guy with potential who draws yawns will face a buzz-saw schedule, while just not grabbing that gold key that seems to always be a few feet away.

    James Buster Douglas career went nowhere after he knocked out Mike Tyson

    I don't know if triple G let him hit him or not. However hopefully he doesn't use that strategy Against a more dangerous fighter

    Danny Garcia looked impressive when he stopped Khan, but he didn't look that good ever since. He went onto beat Herrera and Peterson by the skin of his teeth ( in controversial fights ).

    He seem to struggle with people that he's supposed to get out of their. The man is very inconsistent as of late.

    BQ: GGG wanted to trade with him because he tried to " run. " He basically made him fight his fight. Golovkin is calculated not stupid.
