Fight with the most brutal beating?

Thompson - Eubank I after the first six rounds. Ouch.

 

Bowe-Golota 2

Bowe did get some great punches in, but I've rarely seen a fighter look so helpless for so long without the fight being stopped. I think it scarred him right up to this present day.

 

It was a horrible beatdown, but I can't agree with you Ali could have knocked him out in 5. Terrell was so damn tough, Ali said himself that he couldn't knock Terrell out in the interview right after the fight, and when the fight's just ended and you're all mad at an opponent, if you say something like that, it's probably true. In addition to that, Terrell was not even hurt until the 7th, when he was most vulnerable, and actually surprised Ali with a good comeback in the 10th.

 

Thomas Hearns was giving Iran Barkley a bloody good hiding in their 1st fight..............until Barkley landed that right hander

 

Larry Holmes on Muhammad Ali.

 

Emile Griffith on Benny Paret. Rest in peace to both fighters though.

 

Vitali vs Briggs.

 

Machen v Frazier
Wladimir v Mercer
Holmes v Cobb
Floyd v Gatti
Margarito v Pac
Tua v Izon
Duhaupas v Wilder
Ribalta v Tyson

 

Tex was just getting warmed up.

Did love their postfight exchange when Larry came to Randall’s room:

Tex: Next time we’re fighting in a phone booth.

Larry: I’ll call you.

 

True. Both fighters got hurt badly in that fight though, something that often gets overlooked.

 

Well I suppose I'm Captain Obvious but it's Dempsey- Willard for me.

 

There were too many horrible beat downs over the last 150 years to possibly label any single one as “ the worst. “ but one of the more recent bad ones was Mike Perez vs Magomad Abdusalomov on 11-02-2013. Perez pounded Abdusalomov into a coma that nearly killed him.

To this day Perez even says it haunts him..

Hard to beat Dempsey-Willard. Seems like that's a shoe-in. I will add a few though.

-Jimmy Carter v Tommy Collins - Collins down 10 times before it was stopped in the 4th round.

-Wilfredo Gomez v Derrick Holmes - Holmes down 8 times in 5 rounds and sustained a broken jaw.

-Mando Ramos v Chango Carmona - Ramos left the ring on a stretcher

-Rodolfo Gonzalez v Chango Carmona - Carmona leaves the ring on a stretcher

 

Rewatch the fight- keep an eye on the bodyshots Iran throws. He takes his legs before the stoppage.
