Mayweather-Gatti

Tyson - EVERYONE pre 1990

Clottey whomped Diego (RIP) pretty bad. Exciting fight but Clottey was too damn strong and Chico couldn't make shit happen.

Winky ****ed up Felix Trinidad wit a jab alone.

Hopkins also made a bitch outta Felix.

Pacman punked MAB like whoa in the first fight between those 2.

Cassius Clay vs Sonny Liston I

This shouldn't be on the list.

This shouldn't be on the list.

yes it should?!?! ali totally outclassed and humiliated liston?

Liston GAVE UP thats how bad he outclassed him... it should absolutely be on the list

Liston GAVE UP thats how bad he outclassed him... it should absolutely be on the list

The fight was not as one-sided as many people think. Liston did win at least one-third of the total rounds. Definetely in no way, shape or form one of the most one-sided fights ever.

What when Ali was blinded from "something"... if you make someone quit on there stool because they cant even hit you... thats ONE SIDED

It's a good list but I do agree that Ali vs Liston I shouldn't count, it was competitive until the stoppage, especially in the 'blind' round.
Ali took punches that would've knocked out many other fighters.

The last 3 rounds of Ali vs Liston I.
The scorecards were even at the end of the bout but Ali took control completely in that 6th round.

I think the shoulder injury was confirmed as real after the fight but because of Liston's history and the 2nd 'fight' I'm not surprised that people believe he quit because he was losing.
It certainly seemed that way... I'm afraid we will never know that for sure because Liston took everything he knew to his grave.

Liston's earlier two fights with Floyd Patterson should be included, they were as one-sided as it gets.

Liston vs Patterson II

i just think it was one sided... not counting the parts when ali was blinded

Mikkel Kessler - Librado Andrade deserves an honorable mention.

and of course Cotto-Gomez! lol

What when Ali was blinded from "something"... if you make someone quit on there stool because they cant even hit you... thats ONE SIDED

Liston was competitive before Clay was blinded.

mayweather vs ward has ot be one of the worst,

cotto vs gomez for a newer one.

Winky's shutdown of Trinidad was incredible. He won all 12 rounds on my card. Even Trinidad didn't complain about it. Ali-Liston doesn't count. Liston-Patterson was incredible because he shutdown Paterson twice (rematch). margarito-Cintron was funny because it was virtually a cakewalk for Margarito both times. Also Benitez shutdown Roberto Duran 15-0 on my card, again Duran, who is a legend, did not dispute this. Check the tapes on that one. Even die-hard Duran fans scored it 12-3 Benitez, giving Duran alot of mercy rounds. I don't think you will see too many great fighters get shut out 15-0. Ali-Holmes was also a cakewalk for Holmes, who was winning just about every round, but by this time Ali was dopified and with Parkinson. Also Ali was about 50.

I found Scott Harrison vs Wayne McCullough quite painful to watch, amazing that it went the distance.

Mayweather vs. Gatti - Absolutely astonishing display of skill and class by Floyd.

Calzaghe vs. Lacy - Need I say more?

Wright vs. Trinidad - Tito's still tasting jabs in his sleep.

Hopkins vs. Tarver - Hops moves up to 175 and whoops the supposed "Legend Killer".

Roy Jones Jr. vs. Vinnie Pazienza - 6 punch power-shot conbo pivoting and walking forward to end the fight in the 6th. JONES TIME!

Leonard-Duran II (Honorable Mention) - Leonard humiliates the great Duran by outboxing and toying with him. NO MAS!

Jack Johnson/Tommy Burns, The rounds tommy won is because Jack let him win, he was toying with him till he finally decided to take him out.

Leonard-Duran II (Honorable Mention) - Leonard humiliates the great Duran by outboxing and toying with him. NO MAS!

I agree with the other fights but I'm not sure if this counts. The scorecards were close at the end of the fight (Leonard was leading by a point or two).

Duran is boxing pretty well at this point of the fight.

tyson - spinks
tua - ruiz

I think Mayweather - Corrales was a mismatch.

Did Corrales even land a punch on his way to losing every single round by a landslide, and being knocked down 6 times?

Liston was competitive before Clay was blinded.

Ali owned him up the entire fight, your just a big Liston fan.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Arturo Gatti
The last few rounds of Ray Robinson vs Jake LaMotta 6
Joe Calzaghe vs Jeff Lacy
Joe Louis vs Max Schmeling 2
Jack Dempsey vs Jess Willard
Max Baer vs Primo Carnera

Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Rocky Juarez

I had it 120-108.

Thomas Hearns vs Roberto Duran, ****ing beautiful.
Calzaghe vs Lacy as mentioned before.
Joe Louis vs Max Schmeling II
Michael Nunn vs Frank Tate

James Toney vs Iran Barkley
Muhammad Ali vs Cleveland Williams
Muhammad Ali vs Ernie Terrell
Julio Cesar Chavez vs Hector Camacho

Mayweather vs. Coralles, Calzaghe vs. Lacy, Cotto vs. Gomez are some recent ones.

Mayweather vs Gatti. I know it's been mentioned but I could believe how much Gatti played into Floyds hands.

Ali owned him up the entire fight, your just a big Liston fan.

I'm not doubting that Ali controlled the fight most of the time, but Liston did win the fourth round (which was before Clay was blinded), and he won the fifth, as well as kept it close in the third round. Hardly a shutout.

Oh, and FYI my favorite fighter is Muhammad Ali.

Calzaghe-Lacy certainly come to mind when talking about one sided beatings another is May v Gatti and May v Corrales also Ali v Williams . Ali was at his peak that night

Ali-Holmes. THREAD CLOSED.

Calzaghe - Lacy, The only round Lacy won was the one where Calzaghe was detucted a point....

Tyson vs. Spinks.:ugh: Spinks didn't even have a chance!

Holmes-Cobb. That was the fight in which commentator Howard Cosell quit boxing.

Mayweather-Gatti

Tyson - EVERYONE pre 1990

Tillis and Tucker were reasonably competitive with Tyson.

Holmes-Cobb. That was the fight in which commentator Howard Cosell quit boxing.

Excuse my ignorance on this subject, but what do you mean Howard Cosell quit boxing? Educate me my friend.:)

He got absolutely sick of boxing from watching the extended monotonous beat-down Cobb took. Round after round after round. In the end he was sadly asking why someone didnt stop this fight. Cosell's constant 'negativitity' in this fight, made him quit as boxing-commentator. Or fired I dont know.

Cobb was a loveable person and the best interview of the day. I think Cosell really liked him and felt sorry for him thereby forgetting his role as neutral commentator. Or perhaps the nature of boxing as a hurt-game finally turned him off.

Thank you. I had not heard anything about this.

Mayweather vs. gatti....it physically hurt to watch that match, imagine how gatti felt!

Mayweather-Gatti and Calzaghe-Lacy in recent memory.

Lewis vs Tyson

Thank you. I had not heard anything about this.

Holmes-Cobb was also close in time frame to Mancini-Kim, so that didn't help Cosell's views on boxing and the public's view on boxing either.

You can argue that boxing in America has never really recovered from 1982. That led to the decline of boxing on network TV.

Good point. All those people who watched Mancini vs. Kim literally watched a man get beat to death on public TV. Has there even been a boxing match on network TV since that fight?

Gatti vs Joey Gamache

The fight didn't outward kill boxing on network TV. They still had boxing on network TV for years after that, but it became harder for boxing to get sponsors and overall just has declined.

gomez - cotto
mayweather - gatti
iran barkly - james toney

yeh i saw that fight even holmes didnt want to hit the guy no more that was some pathetic refereeing.
Holmes carried him to the 15th because he felt sorry for him but made sure he won rounds to.
Also ali- holmes is a mention even though ali was shot that was one sided imagine if it carried on? dundee is a gd trainer and stopped it the ref should of.

Ali was heavily drugged from weight-loss pills in that fight. He couldn't move after round 1.

What small guys should do keep em moving then stop and pop

This shouldn't be on the list.I agree. While Liston was outboxed, the fight was far from one-sided. Ali vs. Liston II, though rather brief, was more one-sided.

de la Hoya vs Forbes.

Zab Judah-Wayne Martell

recently it has to be Cotto vs Gomez, by the end it almost looked like Cotto was feeling sorry for him and didnt wanna hurt the boy!!

Oscar de la hoya dominated gatti when they fought, gatti hardly hit him with any punches

Oscar de la Hoya vs. anyone is the most one-sided beat down. :beerchug:
