    There is a plethora of material to garner. Boxing history offers up many black eyes.

    Of your two choices, Butler's sucker punch of Grant was worse.

    Panama Lewis removing the bulk of padding from Resto's gloves is a pretty glaring example.

    Butler's Sucker Punch
    Panama Lewis and Luis Resto's gloves
    Margarito and the handwraps
    Floyd Mayweather and Ortiz disgusted me personally but I also understand that it's a business.
    Tyson's bite was just a foul, fouls happen all the time, and it wasnt a dangerous foul either

    Butler's sucker punch is worse than anything mentioned so far.
    He ended up killing a man, not surprising.

    Malone vs Silberbauer, I'd say.

    212 rounds, bare knuckles, a 140lb man vs a heavyweight under the African sun.

    I like boxing but, JFK ...

    Butler's atrocity was by far the worst.

    Does Tony Ayala have his own category or is this limited to inside ring events?

    Larry Holmes hurling chunks after the Holyfield fight was a bit nasty. Funny. You can watch men bite each other, hit each other in the nads, headbutt, remove padding from gloves and so on and you might wince. But the only time while watching boxing I've had to avert my eyes was as Holmes just spewed at the end of the fight as his second was getting his gumshield.
