    For me it has to be Dempsey vs Willard. And Willard took an absolute savage beating. Has any title fight with that type of size disparity been as one sided and brutal?

    Baer vs Carnera was another one but Baer was almost 6'3 he was just at a weight disadvantage and the beating was more prolonged.
