worst beating in a match between KNOWN fighters?

Lacy/Calazage Glen Johnson/Jones jr(?) mayweather/gatti mayweather/corrales Mayweather Corrales is one of the biggest EVER. Corrales was favored to win that fight. EXCELLENT!

Mayweather/Gatti more so than Mayweather/Baldomir. I thought Manny and Morales 2 was pretty bad, though I wouldn't say Manny vs. Barrera, cuz I don't think Manny was that well known then. Hell, I remember picking Barrera to win for that fight. Forgot Manny Morales 3, Never ever in my wildest imagination would I have ever thought that Morales would "give up". Pac Man just was too much for him.

What Mayweather did to Gatti, Baldomir, etc could count. Mayweather/Gatti more so than Mayweather/Baldomir. I thought Manny and Morales 2 was pretty bad, though I wouldn't say Manny vs. Barrera, cuz I don't think Manny was that well known then. Hell, I remember picking Barrera to win for that fight.

Was Quintana considered well known? Cause Cotto just BEAT the ever living daylights out of him, I mean OUCH I was in pain just watching that fight. What Mayweather did to Gatti, Baldomir, etc could count.

Tua v Ruiz: This was scarey, suprised Ruiz eventually got up from this Tua v Moorer: Moorer's been in some tough fights, but Tua's power was too much for him. Tyson v Holmes: Yes Holmes was past his prime, but he was definately still game. He was hitting Tyson with some good jabs, until Tyson went nuts and knocked him around the ring like a pit bull would do to a rag doll. (both) Rahman v Lewis: two brutal knock outs. Sanders v W. Klitschko: No one thought this fight would go this way. Sanders style just overwhelmed Klitschko who looked like a deer in head lights the whole match. Two of my favorite fighters, would love to see them square off again. And V. Klitschko really put a hurtin on Sanders in their match,showed's that Sanders' stamina was a weak spot.

Most recent - Calzaghe VS Lacy (Lacy was actually favourite going into the fight so that gets extra points) Previous - Lewis VS Tyson (utterly brutal, complete domination) All time - Dempsey VS Willard (horrific - apparently after the bout Willard was heard repeatedly muttering to himself through what was left of his mouth something like - "I have a farm in Kansas & hunderd thousand dollars in the bank, I have a farm in Kansas & hunderd thousand dollars in the bank, I have a farm in Kansas & hunderd thousand dollars in the bank.....) Notable - Azumah Nelson VS Gabriel Ruelas (one of the most clinical beatdowns of all time - Nelson pretended to brawl initially, then clinically dissected Ruelas, dropping him with a perfect right, switching to the body when he got up & breaking his ribs on one side, then attacking the other side of the body, then switching to the head. Only lasted 2 or 3 rounds, but it was close to perfect, especially seeing how Nelson had lost to Ruelas the last time round).

I don't believe the story about Jack taking it easy on Stanley, didn't jack knock him down early in the fight? Also there's the story about Jack wiping Ketchel's teeth off of his glove, but if you watch closely, he wipes the left glove with the right glove, the teeth should have been embedded in the right glove, so he's wiping the wrong glove for that to be true. Wasn't Jeffries' trainer for his "comeback" fight some slick boxer who had KO'd Johnson? I can't remember, I might be wrong about that. the story of jack holding up stanley ketchel is well known and widespread. it is even told the same way by bert sugar as well as in every book or video documentary i've seen. this story, i'm inclined to believe rather than disbelieve. the johnson/willard story is a bit less believable. stanley was dusted with a right as it appears clearly. he did, however, land a left hook immediately before putting ketchel down with the right. with jeffries's trainer, that i am not very sure about so i would have to check my knowledge vs my books,etc.

not so sure how his next few days were other than he probably didn't feel very well! that was one of the single greatest one punch ko's i've ever seen. as i remember reading, ketchel was "out" for something like 10 minutes or so. his teeth, yes. his front teeth were broken off at the gumline as i recall - i have a mini library on jack johnson. the ketchel/j johnson fight has some interesting stories behind it. one of them was the whole deal about jack johnson agreeing to carry ketchel through the fight instead of taking him out. at some point, stanley starts to feel as though he can actually take jack, as jack wasn't really laying it on. that's when ketchel catches jack by surprise. the rest is history - jack gets up and ices ketchel with that one punch. jack has been down before, but he was known for having a great beard. jess willard, who got the title from jack, knocked him down and jack was counted out. this fight also has some unique storylines attached to it. jack claims that he was getting tired of boxing and had accepted a bribe of something like $125,000 if i recall correctly. i believe he latered claimed that he never even recieved the money. there's a bit more to it as well. some people, probably most, believe that jack was just getting older, and was not in shape for the fight which was in 100 degree heat in the middle of the day. jack had also been down very early in his career when he fought joe choynski(sp?). the police broke into the scene at the time right as jack had been knocked down and arrested both of 'em for practicing pugilism. jack learned a great deal of tricks from choynski, who was known as a slick fighter, while in jail which helped him go onto become the legendary jack johnson we know of.

Nigel Benn and Gerald McClellan 2/25/95 at the New London Arena in London England....my trainer Bill Miller was there and said it was the most brutal fight he has ever seen in 60 years in boxing. Said both fighters were never the same again. That was a war, but I don't think you can say it was a classic beatdown. Just like Ali-Frazier III, or Gatti-Ward, etc.

You never got me down ya bastard... Robinson-Lamotta VI. 'The St. Valentine's Day Massacre'

Or maybe even Dempsey vs. Willard that was as brutal as it comes. Dammit you beat me to it lol

Dino VS the BUFFET table..

wasn't that guy that johnson ko'd, ko'd for a few days after that, that and lost some teeth. also i think that was the only time johnson was ever knocked down? dunno for sure but if that was it, i remeber them saying that johnson knocked old boy out right after with the next punch and old boy lost a few teeth as well as slept for a few days straight without getting up. that was hard core. not so sure how his next few days were other than he probably didn't feel very well! that was one of the single greatest one punch ko's i've ever seen. as i remember reading, ketchel was "out" for something like 10 minutes or so. his teeth, yes. his front teeth were broken off at the gumline as i recall - i have a mini library on jack johnson. the ketchel/j johnson fight has some interesting stories behind it. one of them was the whole deal about jack johnson agreeing to carry ketchel through the fight instead of taking him out. at some point, stanley starts to feel as though he can actually take jack, as jack wasn't really laying it on. that's when ketchel catches jack by surprise. the rest is history - jack gets up and ices ketchel with that one punch. jack has been down before, but he was known for having a great beard. jess willard, who got the title from jack, knocked him down and jack was counted out. this fight also has some unique storylines attached to it. jack claims that he was getting tired of boxing and had accepted a bribe of something like $125,000 if i recall correctly. i believe he latered claimed that he never even recieved the money. there's a bit more to it as well. some people, probably most, believe that jack was just getting older, and was not in shape for the fight which was in 100 degree heat in the middle of the day. jack had also been down very early in his career when he fought joe choynski(sp?). the police broke into the scene at the time right as jack had been knocked down and arrested both of 'em for practicing pugilism. jack learned a great deal of tricks from choynski, who was known as a slick fighter, while in jail which helped him go onto become the legendary jack johnson we know of.

wlad klitcko gave ray mercer a pretty bad beating He made him his bitch. And I don't want to hear about age. Mercer was racking up constant 1 punch K.O.'s at the time, and we do know now......Wlad's chin is suspect. Ass whoopin, because he's 10 times the figher Mercer ever was.
