The biggest beating in the history of the hw division (my opinion))

Yeah Dempsey Willard has always pretty much been the acknowledged standard for beatings in the ring

 

True beating.

 

Wow!..Ive never seen this footage before!!..But ya. I understand why he spent the night in the hospital..This is Brutal!!

 

Broken jaw. teeth knocked out. broken ribs, broken orbital bone etc..Ya thats a beating that never really gets old!!!

 

And what people dont talk about enough is no neutral corner..Dempsey just learing over him waiting for the second Willard rose to just brutalize him even more...But He did keep gettin up..dont know why though!:huh

 

Gunboat Smith told how tough Willard was.....something to the effect that he hit Wilard with a "right hand that nearly ripped his ear off and the guy kept coming."

 

you guys are obsessed with heavy weight division.

 

I have no particular admiration for Yank Heavyweights (Lennox Lewis easily beats any of them, including Ali ) but I'm led to believe what made Howard Cosell turn his back on boxing was the disgraceful televised beating of Tex Cobb, by the far superior Larry Holmes.

 

hh,without a doubt....Poor Primo, a heart as big as his size!

 

Its the title of the thread.atsch

 

Tyson-Mitch Green.

 

Dempsey v Willard is the benchmark I believe.

Jeffries absorbed a terrific beating in his winning defence against Fitzsimmons.
Gus Ruhlin was battered remorseleesly by Fitz ,so badly was he concussed that he had to be put to bed in the arena,[ MSG ,]as it was deemed unsafe for health reasons to move him. He spent the rest of the week recuperating at his manager's house.

Randy Cobb sustained a one sided scientific beating from Larry Holmes ,as did Shannon Briggs from Vitali.
I thought the Terrell Ali fight could have been stopped,and that the excellent Arthur Mercante was late in stopping the Foreman v Frazier debacle.

 

Mitch threw that fight somewhat.

 

ye it is true but 50% of the threads are about heavyweights.
