worst wound inflicted in title fight......

:rofl

This thread keeps on scoring.

 

I'm going with Rocky Marciano's, wasn't it said you could see the bone?

...But did he win the event?...I mean, sure he did but did he do it as well?

 

Shommel's asking specifically for winners in title fights, which narrows it down considerably.

Marciano actually said the Charles rematch "was my easiest fight." Hagler overcame a nasty cut to stop Hearns, as did Robinson in halting Turpin. Watt-O'Grady is overshadowed by the decisive butt. However, Watt was so severely cut earlier in that one that Mickey Duff very nearly stopped it. Chacon also overcame severe bleeding to win the rematch over another Duff charge, Boza Edwards. (Pacheco did want it stopped, fueling his "Fright Doctor" moniker.)

Jeffries was badly carved up by Fitz in their rematch. Dempsey suffered a torn ear (ouch!) in the Brennan defense. Most of the worst wounds sustained by title fight winners happened in an era of black and white imagery.

 

Mendoza says it was a premature cuts stoppage & if it had continued Cooper would have KO'd Ali.

 

It was so bad you could see through to the occipital bone. And the coccyx.

 

I heard you could see right through his head

 

He KOed Ali (at the bell of course) and got a standing ovation from the Queen of England. Hell yes, he won the event.

 

I like this thread. We're teaching people things. Things we learned largely from Mendoza.

 

There will never be a Hector Velasquez, Jr. :verysad
