Tex Cobb, against Larry Holmes.

Camacho, against Chavez.

Many Gatti fights.

Tex Cobb, against Larry Holmes.

Camacho, against Chavez.


These are two notable choices...also Mel Taylor against Chavez (several cuts in his mouth, multiple facial fractures, multiple contusions, internal bleeding, head trauma...)

Lately...Joppy took a bad beating against Hopkins, Booker just took a pretty nasty beating from Toney as did Jirov.

Tex Cobb, against Larry Holmes.

Camacho, against Chavez.


I read about the Tex Cobb fight apparantly he got an absolute pounding, hasn't he been in some films, fledgling career as a movie star?

I know Camacho got a beating but it wasn't as furousios as some, althought i've never seen it. I'd throw the final fight between Robinson and La Motta, he was getting punished

"Mel Taylor against Chavez (several cuts in his mouth, multiple facial fractures, multiple contusions, internal bleeding, head trauma...)"


Taylor did not make it to the final bell in either fights.

that i have seen: joppy (hopkins) and gatti( in a lot of fights..kid has heart)

easy randolph turpin vs Sugar ray the rematch.

this is when fightewr really took punishment i say 50 odd unanswered punches in slow mo not so long ago, the most brutal beating ive ever seen.

no discussion it was a bloodbath.

Marcel cerdan v Tony Zale.
Zale went out in his shield after taking a steady beating the whole fight.

Uhhh-hem....

Please.....read pinkpanther's question again.

goo dpoint i still say its the most savage beating ive ever seen.
irrespective.

goodight im off up the pub :cool:

Joe Grim took a ****load of beatings in his time, and those were against some of the truely great fighters of that era. After surviving until the final bell against these guys, he would then proclaim to the onlookers; "I am Joe Grim! Nobody can knock me out!"

I think Gotti and Ward both took be beatings. Manley against each other.

Tex Cobb against Earnie Shavers. Tex Cobb seemingly decided, the f**k with it, I'ma take an ass kicking, came back, and knocked Shavers out. It was no Ali-Foreman, more like Klitschko-Brewster.
