    Witherspoon/Broad comes to mind. VERY similar to Morrison/Mercer, with Broad fully unconscious against the ropes and then falling like a manequin who's strings have been cut. The commentators including Arcel went bat**** crazy.

    No Mosley/Margarito's or Corrales/Castillo's, thanks.

    I've been around here for a long time now, yet I've never seen Carlos Ortiz brutally stopping Len Matthews get mentioned. Maybe I've missed it a few times, but it's obviously not a common nomination. I'd say it was pretty close to how vicious the Williams/Jack stoppage was.

    One of my favourite fights, Michael Carbajal vs Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez.

    Henry Cooper-Joe Erkskine III- Henry hits him with a double left hook combination and Joe falls unconsious into the ropes and his body gets trapped on the ropes and the ref counts him out while joes body is bending over the ropes like a rubberman. He looked DEAD. Scary knockout. Henry could whack with that left.

    Though it was a circus act, the KO of Bart Gunn against Butterbean was down right scary. Gunn, expecting a worked fight, got KTFO.

    Uh, Bart wasn't expecting a fixed fight at all. He was simply a complete and total amateur when it came to boxing.

    The entire Brawl for All the WWF put on was legitmate, as was the Butterbean/Bart match.

    It didnt look like it, but maybe it was a work?

    No, it was definitely legitimate.

    He was brutally sparked out, if Butterbean was faking that you'd think he'd make it look less realistic.

    some of the BRAWL FOR ALL matches were rigged, with the exception of Gunn/Esch and Gunn/Williams and Pierre/Williams. Bradshaw/Gunn, as well as Gunn/Godfather were clearly works.

    I just watched a few of those matches on youtube. There was definitely some fake KO ing in some of them it seems. Which means that almost certainly the WWE side of the brawl was entirely fake.

    With this being the case, it would not surprise me at all, if the butterbean match was on the level (which i am not totally convinced), i have to say that Bart Gunn may have been the worst fighter i have ever seen in a professional boxing match. He almost tried to use the style that Jim Corbett used in that kinetiscope clip floating around. I tend to think that Butterbean was told to land some haymakers and Bart was always taking a dive (not that it would have mattered).

    Incidentally, i am not the best person to ask on this subject. Although i rarely watch them, i am not yet totally convinced that those MMA type fights are 100% full on either. Maybe it is because i have not watched them properly or that i dont understand the rules.

    Meet Charlie Zelenoff. No one beats this kid in terms of being the worst professional boxer ever:

    Do you know how many Brawl for All participants were injured so badly they had to stop wrestling for peroids of time as well?

    Gunn knocked out Dr Death Steve Williams so brutally it more or less ended his WWF career.
