    Who are some of the most damaging fighters of all time?
    Guys who had a pattern of often hurting their opponents badly?

    It may be a brutal discussion but it is a brutal sport.

    Rocky Marciano had a way of shortening careers

    JCC senior ruined alot of good fighters

    These two seemed to beat the fight out of their opponents permanently reducing their resistance through prolonged brutal beatings

    Roberto duran

    We all know about his destructive peak

    But look at the damage he did in his downfall

    A fat 38 year old version seemed to with one right hand cut two of leonards eyes,bust up his mouth into a bloody mess and leave ray looking like a mugging victim.

    He did the same to pazienzas face in their first clash leaving it a gory freddie krueger impersonation.

    Yeah Rocky is definitely up there.
    I think Wilder will also be high up on the list when it’s all said and done.

    All good picks so far

    I think Wilder is a destructive fighter as well he really beat Stiverne up over the 12 rounds to the point Stiverne turned listless towards the end the rematch could show a degraded punch resistance......

    Marvin Hagler.
    His ramrod job and razor sharp punches butchered many a face with
    his opponent ending up in hospital.
    Mustafo Hamsho 1st fight 53 stitches.
    Alan Minter 15 stitches.
    Vito Antufermo 2nd fight gory mess ( though head butt made it worse. )
    Errol Spence a modern day Hagler.
    Alejandro Barrera broken jaw.
    Chris Van Heerden broken orbital bone.
    Kell Brooks broken orbital bone.

    The more I think of it, Bob Fitzsimmons should damn near top his list.
