    Completely one sided beatdowns that go the full distance. Some that come to mind:

    Calzaghe vs Lacy
    Holmes vs Cobb
    Vitali vs Briggs
    Hopkins vs Pavlik
    Pacquiao vs Margarito
    Chavez vs Camacho

    To be quite honest , i think Ali 2 years earlier was more competitive than Cobb was, and Cooney too 6 MONTHS EARLIER...

    Yeah that fight was a bit depressing, seeing Cobb taking such a cold, one sided beating.

    Imo Calzaghe vs Lacy is right up there. Poor Jeff caught about a million unanswered punches to the face and was completely ruined physically and mentally.

    Vitali vs Briggs was hard to watch. Round after round of brutal damage.

    Op has listed some great matches. Calzaghe Jones was pretty one sided down the stretch.

    It wasn't one way traffic throughout like Vitali vs Briggs though.

    I saw the Luis Resto - Billy Collins fight from ringside at Madison Square Garden. It was a pretty bad beatdown. Of course we later learned that padding had been removed from Resto's gloves.

    Hopkins said to Pavlik something to the effect of "Don't let this loss ruin you"
    I believe it did.

    Harry Greb beating up on Bill Brennan, multiple times.

    It was not filmed, and appears to have been consistently one sided.

    The incredible thing is that Brennan just kept coming back for more!
