Worst one sided beatdown...

[CarlosG815]

Of a fighter who was not shot or way past prime. Not talking Ali vs Holmes, but more like Tyson vs Douglas.

What are some of the worst one sided beatdowns in boxing history of fighters who still had a lot of fight and went on to have successful careers?

I'm talking older fights, not so much Margarito/Pacquiao, as time will tell if Margarito was shot (which I think he was).

Let's hear them.

Hopkins vs Johnson

Kessler vs Andrade

Hagler - Hearns
Duran - Buchannan

Short list I think: Those kind of one-sided beatdowns tend to wreck fighters psychologically and preclude any sucessful subsequent career.

Rid**** Bowe vs Evander Holyfield I
Dwight Braxton vs Leon Spinks

Leon Spinks, Trinidad, and De La Hoya didn't go on to later sucess though. Those fights were their proverbial "nails in the coffin". Bowe - Holyfield I was a close fight: No beatdown there.

It wasn't a one sided beating, but Evander took a pretty bad beating, however he gave a fair bit back.
