    The question is: who took the worst beating in the history of televised or more accurately filmed boxing matches in a single fight?

    Some examples that I've seen would be:

    Jess Willard from Jack Dempsey (this might well be the worst I've seen so I'll put this at the top)
    Muhammad Ali from Larry Holmes
    Tommy Collins from Jimmy Carter
    Edwin Rosario and Meldrick Taylor from Julio Cesar Chavez
    Davey Moore from Roberto Duran
    Nigel Benn and G-Man gave each other a horrible beating

    Any other suggestion?

    Vitali / Briggs was unwholesome
    Boom Boom Mancini put on a life ending beating on an unfortunate Korean boxer.

    If I can do MMA I have some humdingers to add ;)

    Back in the 90's I think, heavyweight prospect Alex Garcia beat this guy Benard Benton where he had him trapped on the ropes and just pounded and pounded while the ref just stood there. Benton was lucky he wasn't killed

    Vitali vs Briggs. Briggs was hurt and had that dangerous look about him that tragedy might happen

    Calzage vs Lacy. A pasting. Lacy took way too many punches.

    Mercer vs Morrison. The ref fell asleep. Should have been stopped much sooner.

    Although Lacy took a lot of punishment, I'd say that was more a boxing lesson than a beating

    Nelson Wolgast is truly horrifying in hindsight.

    That is one part of the good old days that I don't miss.
