What is the most punishment a boxer took in a single fight?

[Showtime..]

Foreman-lyle

That fight was crazy brutal both ways. god damn..

[RightJabLikeZab]

Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Dwight Qawi was pretty brutal

[punchr]

Floyd vs Chino 1, according to reliable sources, floyd was in severe pain, and would not talk to anyone for several weeks after

Can anyone verify this?

[DreamerUSA]

Israel Vasquez vs. Rafael Marquez

All of their fights were pretty brutal. Perfect example of how not to handle fighters. Those fights effectively ended both guys careers.

Hands down of fights that I watched- Meldrick Taylor/JCC sr.

your just another punk who never seen the fight just regurgitating information he read on forums and YouTube if any of those fighters was winning why would their corner tell them to go for it in the 12? Before your respond your an idiot....

Duran vs Hearns
mayweather vs ward

thrilla in manilla.

pick a fighter. ali collapsed in the ring, and was going to have to quit if frazier's corner didn't stop him.

no fight has seen more punishment exhcanged before or since. i truly believe that. i don't think it's sporting to allow men to go through a war like that.


the shots ali took to the body, and the shots frazier took to the head, took years from their lives.

true plus add in the heat that fight ruin both of them

[Real King Kong]

Larry Holmes v Tex Cobb off the top of my head, Howard Cosell quit commentating because it was so one sided.

Cobb had one of boxings great chins.

It actually wasn't that bad. I think it was made worse by the aftermath of mancini vs kim.

Ali vs Holmes, ali just took a beating every round until they threw the towel in. He had no business fighting at all
