In tribute to the fight we saw the other night, where we saw Pacquiao gradually break down Cotto en route to a comfortable stoppage victory, let's discuss our favorite beatings in Boxing history. Here's my top 5. 1. Julio Cesar Chavez vs Greg Haugen 2. Marco Antonio Barrera vs Paul Llyod 3. Roberto Duran vs Davey Moore 4. Bernard Hopkins vs Kelly Pavlik 5. Thomas Hearns vs Roberto Duran
01 - Charley Burley v Archie Moore 02 - Jack Johnson v Sam Langford 03 - Elbows McFadden v Joe Gans 04 - Harry Greb v Mickey Walker 05 - Kid Norfolk v Battling Siki :yep
1.Floyd Mayweather Jr Vs Aturo Gatti 2.Sugar Ray Robinson Vs Jake LaMotta IV (in the latter stage's) 3.Roberto Duran Vs Davey Moore 4.Joe Calzaghe Vs Jeff Lacy 5.Naseem Hamed Vs Steve Robinson these aren't my favourite because I got anything personal against the fighters just the worst beatings I've seen
LaMotta - Cerdan Armstrong - Ross Locche - Cervantes or Locche - Fuji. Severe schoolings rather than physical beatings. Monzon - Benvenuti I Barrera - Hamed. It never gets old.
i have not seen the fight but most sources ive read had Cerdan ahead before he pull out with a should injury. not sure if thats true or not but i haread that a few times
Cerdan wasn't ahead from my recollection, he got thoroughly manhandled by LaMotta after trying to rough him up early doors, hence the shoulder injury. He was behind on the scorecards as far as I'm aware.
It was wasn't it? Torres doing what he did best against a slightly depleted version of a great fighter. Brutal. Still, you have to admire Pastrano's humour considering the beating he was taking. - "Do you know where you are?" - "Yeah, I'm in Madison Square Garden getting the **** kicked out of me!"
1. Thomas Hearns vs Roberto Duran 2. Shane Mosley vs Antonio Margarito 3. Buster Douglas vs Mike Tyson 4. Joe Frazier vs Bob Foster 5. Roy Jones vs James Toney :good
