Which boxer took the most punishment in a single fight... of all time?
In the history of boxing, who -- in your professional opinion -- took the most punishment in a single bout? From bell to bell, pillar to post, who was beaten up the most?
Pacquiao Margarito? He broke Tony's face.
Castillo Corrales
I would have to go with PAC beating Marg.
Or a few guys that were beaten to death in the right.
Outside of a ring, Yusuf Mack getting the sh1t fvcked out of him.
Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward (not one sided but both fighters took a ton of punishment especially Gatti)
Mayweather vs Gatti
Ali vs Terrell
Toney vs Barkley
Jones vs Hall most one sided fight I've ever seen.
Mosley vs Margs
Toney vs Barkley
Berto vs Ortiz
Pac vs delahoya
Vitali vs Briggs
Ali vs Holmes
Ali vs Frazier 3
Forman vs Frazier 1
Castillo vs Corales 1
Pac vs Margs
De la Hoya vs gatti
Gatti vs Ward 1 & 3
Joe Louis vs schmelling 2
Ali vs Terrell
Robinson vs Carmen bassilio all of them lol.
List goes on that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Golota-Bowe 2
And I actually might watch the Klitschko one too. How punishing was it?
A lot of knockdowns, a lot of blood, a lot of glassy eyed looks, chicken dances, many brain cells lost in that one.
Riddick Bowe at the hands of Golota in the second fight. Probably still holds the record for most amount of power punches absorbed and it wasn't even a 12 round fight at the end.
Danny Williams beaten down by Vitali was also turning into a snuff movie.
I'm about to watch this one you better not be lying
Davey Moore when he faced Roberto Duran .....never the same after that fight and duran beat the life out of him
I watched that fight yesterday. It was ****ing brutal. Moore fought on the inside like an idiot and got severely damaged.
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.
I was wondering when someone would finally mention this. I was watching clips of this the other night and Ali was brutally honest when he said that was the closest he ever came to death.
Griffith vs Peret, the Kid never recovered and past away.
The ref was not on top of the situation and allowed Benny to take viscous shots while unprotected in the corner.
This was a televised fight that brought the sport into question once again.
Ray
Billy Collins vs Resto
Kim-duk koo vs Mancini
You know, they kind of died
luis resto didn't kill billy collins. collins drove off of an embankment months after the fight.
resto did damage his eyes, which would have probably permanently ended his career. i've heard that he was offered money to take fights after the resto fight.
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.
That's a myth, I've seen that fight and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as many people make it out to be.
Riddick Bowe at the hands of Golota in the second fight. Probably still holds the record for most amount of power punches absorbed and it wasn't even a 12 round fight at the end.
Danny Williams beaten down by Vitali was also turning into a snuff movie.
Davey Moore when he faced Roberto Duran .....never the same after that fight and duran beat the life out of him
