In terms of a Homo sapien receiving damage... I would have to say... Nigel Benn vs Gerald McClellan and Sergey Kovalev vs Roman Simakov. These matches are too brutal. So brutal that I have trouble watching them.

Cotto/Torres was pretty brutal, was thinking about that fight today in fact. Love this fight. A personal favorite. Lewis vs Briggs. That man took a lot of punishment.
