    Ruiz Tua, Tua Moorer, Castillo Corrales, Morrison Mercer, Tua cleybey or izon can't remember which one.

    Mab smashed nazs head, Floyd knocked Hattons head.

    Who are some examples we don't know about?

    Beau Jack's beating from Ike Williams was scary. Kid Paret did die because he was helpless on the ropes against Griffith.

    Fortunately, the ref eventually got around to stopping the Cooney vs. Norton fight, because the ropes/corner was the only thing holding Norton up and he could have been killed if a few more punches had landed.

    Tony Perez was also dangerously slow on Mercer-Morrison.

    Same with Arthur Mercante Jr during Whitaker-Hurtado.

    Not during the actual fight, but before and after, the ropes were a clear and present danger for this guy: -
