    Mcclellan supposedly wanted to quit between rounds in the benn fight, but his corner didnt let him despite mcclellan telling his coach he felt like there was water running in his head
    Biggs looked like he wanted out in the tyson fight, he looked in pain and had no chance to win. his corner shouldve retired him after the 5th
    Moore in the duran fight was taking waaaaay too much punishment
    Haugen vs chavez, It was clear early haugen had no chance

    In the Duran vs Moore fight the performance of both the referee and the corner was criminal.

    It's easy to second guess the cornermen in any fight where death or permanent injury happened, but it's not always so clear at the time. Johnny Owen, Duk Koo Kim, Cleveland Denny, etc...but some of those weren't so obvious at the time. Maybe the fight where Willie Classen died vs. Wilford Scypion.

    The Holmes vs. Ali fight should have been stopped by Dundee earlier than he did.

    Bowe's corner should have pulled the plug twice in the Golata fights.

    Ruddock-Dokes. Not the corner's fault but gotdamn Mercante Jr. was still counting while Dokes was in a semi-coma.

    In recent time, this. The last 3 rounds is hard to watch, especially when they showed the slowmotion of Manny landing another powerfull blow to an already badly cut and swollen face and eyes.

    Ali vs Holmes also comes in mind quick but at least it was stopped before it went further.

    Also, that guy that got killed after fighting Mancini.
