    The damage done to Max Schmeling by Joe Louis in their rematch was akin to a head-on car collision.

    Ali did beat him up, but not as bad as you say.
    Compared to other beatings, it was nothing, a joke.
    There were no huge broken bones, not much blood and no death.

    Mercer - Morrison

    First Mercer's body was bombed brutally, later Tommy took terrible hits wile already hanging dazed in the ropes.

    I watched it live, june '88 if i remember correctly . Sure, Barkley was having the odd success but was still on the shittier end of the stick and was himself being hurt to the body and cut to ribbons

    This will always be it for me. I don't see how anything could come close for sheer, senseless brutality.

    Greb gave Tunney an hellacious beating in their first fight, by all accounts.
