Tyson vs Spinks
Tszyu vs Gabe Ruelas (that was an ugly drawn out near death beating)
Foreman vs Frazier
Trinidad vs Joppy
This fight was NOT completely one-sided. Watch it again.
Julio Ceasar Chevez vs. Medrick Taylor
I know that Taylor was getting off a lot of punches in the first 5 or 6 rounds, but they weren't affecting Chevez.
And actually the entire fight Chevez was landing hard punches the entire fight. From the first round, he was trading one for three, but it caught up with Taylor.
Have you ever seen such a young talented fighter just get the boxing taken out of him in a bout? The kid was dominant, quick, agile, and could punch. And after that fight, he just wasn't.
this thread is about one-sided beatings, not bad physical beatings in competitive bouts.
taylor wasn't the same but he still had some success afterwards. the way he fought, he was bound to have a relatively short career at the top, but chavez really made it short.
roberto duran's beatdown of davey moore deserves mention, and moore was probably more ruined from duran than meldrick from j.c.c.

That fight was the most one sided but you are right how it affected Taylor, He was never the same and only won another title on talent alone.

Mayweather destroying Gatti. Lewis did beat Tyson's ass too. I wouldn't say Trinidad-Wright cuz Winky just completely dominated him didn't destroy him. That fight went the full 12.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Arturo Gatti: I'm from Jersey City, so naturally I was rooting for the hometown kid to pull it off. Being a man of sound mind and competence, however, I knew what was going to occur. Arturo got the living shit kicked out of him for six rounds, he really was never competitive in the fight. The only chance he had was to go in there and swarm Mayweather, instead he decided he was going to wait on the smaller man. Big mistake, one that he had no business making. This isn't Jesse James Leija, this is the big time. Mercifully, Buddy McGirt pulled the plug after the sixth round, rescuing a battered and spent Thunder Gatti.
Hopkins-Trinidad: It always seems that my boys are the ones getting their asses handed to them. Going in, the casual, sentimental fan thought Felix Trinidad, then thought to be unbeatable was going to go in there, huff and puff and blow Hopkins' head off. Hopkins, the significantly bigger and more technically rounded fighter, had no intentions of laying down. At a press conference in Puerto Rico, Hopkins disrespected a Puerto Rican flag, then ran away knowing that as tough an ex con he was, he wasn't winning that fight. He knew that it was just a setup for the fight that he could win, that one to be decided in Madison Square Garden.
From the outset, you could see that Trinidad had no chance. Hopkins was simply the better fighter, with his foot feints freezing Tito and leaving him vulnerable to Hopkins' combos to the body and head. By the 10th round, Tito was all done in. Finally, with the fight more than in the bag, Hopkins landed a monstrous over hand right that dropped Tito, which was followed by Papa Trinidad halting the fight in the 12th.
Tyson-Lewis: This fight happened many years too late for Tyson, who was pretty much living off the reputation of a fighter who had died in the Tokyo Dome some 12 years earlier. This fight had more hype than a bout featuring two men pushing forty should have had.
While their ages were close, the way they preserved themselves hadn't been. Aside for 2 one punch knockout defeats, Lewis hadn't put much mileage on his body because of the way he fought. He was a chess master int he ring, protect the king and then positioning himself for checkmate. Exacting and purposeful, his body had not been spent superfluously in the ring. Contrast that with Tyson, whose prison sentences, had beatings at the hands of Holyfield and Douglas, and general disdain for physical conditioning had relieved him of the flashing brilliance he possessed in the 1980's.
From the opening bell, the fight was a technical mismatch. Tyson charged out from his corner intent on making a statement, only to walk into a monstrous uppercut from the champion that discouraged any further assaults from the faded challenger. It was target practice from there, as Tyson waded at a distance as a stationary target to the master boxer Lewis. In the eigth round, with the fight more than over, Lewis dropped Tyson with a bomb of a right hand that rocked Tyson to his core and sent him to the canvas for the 10 count, a conclusion of certain finality to both the bout, and Tyson's reign as a serious contender.
Wright vs. Trinidad was a one-sided domination. Tito didn't win one round. To me that is worse than getting beaten up, that breaks your soul to know that you got completely dominated for twelve rounds and couldn't do a damn thing about it.
YEAH but this THREAD is called ONE SIDED "BEATDOWNS" not SCHOOLINGS or DOMINATIONS.. BUT BEATDOWNS.. WINKY TITO does NOT fit this description
Wright didn't beat him up at all. Tito might have had a bloody nose at one point but he was hardly hurting. Wright can't hurt anyone so he'll never be involved in a beatdown unless he's on the receiving end.
Pacquiao pounded on Barrera for 11 rounds. That's 30+ minutes of getting hit in the face by one of the strongest punchers in the sport. That is a beatdown.
