Top 5 Most Brutal Fights

[mickey malone]

I'm surprised no one else remembered the Williams - Sosa fight: It was the one the doctor stopped to fight without a winner because it was "too brutal to be allowed to continue".

Must admit, my honorable friend, That's one I must have missed, but if you're referring to 'Prince Charles' he had a few of these... Vs Czyz was another!

very nice posts folks! most of them have been named here though.

only one thing, I guess "brutal" must have somehow something to do with "dirty," "stunning" or even "fatal" because many ones were hell of thrilling fights but still I would not refer them as "brutal," seems to me they are clearly sportive and then cannot be totally brutal:

ie. Hagler-mugabi, Jose Luis Ramirez-Chapo Rosario, Chavez-Taylor, and indeed paramount fights like Foreman-Lyle, Hagler-Hearns.

maybe some other brutal kind of KOs do apply for or appear "brutal" at first sight

ie. Monzon-Benvenuti 1, Paquiao-Hatton, all early Tysons fights,

and other brutal kind of KOs are definetively brutal beyond doubt:

ie. Hearns-Duran, Hearns-Cuevas, Cuevas-Campanino, and most of Gatti's, Tony Ayala's or Bobby Chacon's.

But then, back to the initial point, some others deserve instant "brutal" status:

- Benn-McClelland, Mancini-Kim, Vitaly-Lewis

also looking at Golota-Bowe serie theres some brutal material too, probably have also something to do with the dirty stuff of the polish.

Benn McClellan
Pintor Owen
Minter Jaccapuci
Eubank Watson 2
Griffith Paret

I know it makes ugly reading, but if I'm honest.. They're the worst I've ever seen...

yes i agree with your choice they are all brutal fights, add Frazier v Quarry (2) Bowe v Golota (2) Fullmer v Paret, Holyfield v Cooper, Tom Collins v Leonzar Barber,

One of the most BRUTAL K.O.'s of all time.

I should put Moore V Durelle I up, but I'll let the GREAT A put them up if he wants to. Or why not visit his Channel..... surely one of the best boxing sites anywhere, and that fight is A MUST SEE..... if you have not seen it,.... you really have missed out.
