worst beatdown in hw history?

[TheGreat1]

i've never seen the Jack Dempsey-Jess Willard 1919 fight, but among th eothers i went with Holmes vs. Ali and also Toney vs. Holyfield. both where very sad fights to watch.

[Da Iceman]

i dont know who voted for tyson vs. spinks. i dont consider a 1 minute ko in round 1 a beating, and he didnt have a broken or fractured bone to show for it.

[butterfly1964]

bump......

[Verstyle]

tyson vs. biggs should have been in there.cause tyson murdered his ass all threw that fight and even toyed with him and took his time to k.o him

[The Raging Bull]

I went with Joe Louis against Schmelling. That is one of the worst beatings I've watched in boxing. Louis just pummeled him!

[jason100x]

There are some great choices there and I was thinking of either Louis-Schmelling 2 or Dempsey-Willard, but the Dempsey-Willard was more sustained for a longer beating so I picked that one.

[K-DOGG]

which is it?

Has to be Dempsey-Willard. Jack beat Jess down 7 times in the first round....they would have stopped it under today's rules.

It was a slaughter.

Willard lost teeth I think and had a broken jaw, eye socket and ribs. It is the worst hands down. Dempsey was a madman that night, and noone could have took that beating and survived. Willard was one tough cookie to make it out of that round.

It was amazing that Willard actually lived into old age after that beatdown.

Larry Holmes' beating of Randall "Tex" Cobb was the most violent I've ever seen. Cobb was beaten ruthlessly for 15 rounds but managed to stay up. He was a tough guy with little talent. As Teddy Atlas beautifully put it, "A Major League Catcher". Howard Cossell, so disgusted with this mismatch, he quit announcing boxing afterwards.

Mike Tyson's pounding of Pinklon Thomas was especially brutal, maybe his most vicious. The last sequence of rocking blows before Thomas was stopped was savage.

Muhammad Ali's malice in the Ernie Terrell and Floyd Patterson fights was unparralled at that time. Ali was a master so in charge of his craft, he was just brutal to both men. Patterson later said that he was hoping that Ali would land one vicious shot and blow him away after the 6th. Cold I tell you, cold.

Jack Johnson's brutal pounding of Jim Jeffries early last century was another malicious exhibition. Jeffries took off over 100 pounds for this fight, and he said he wanted to punish Johnson to show that the white man was superior to black people (Rolls my eyes). He entered the ring to a nice little diddy entitled "Every black person looks alike", which showed how disgusting a person Jeffries was. It didn't matter to Johnson, he made Jeffries his ***** all night until the cops themselves intervened, not wanting to see a white man get killed by a colored person.
