Most violent finishes in history?

Peret vs Griffith 3



Morisson vs Mercer

Are we not allowed to speak of the deaths that have occured in boxing? Its part of the game and probably part of the rush of it all in being a fighter. Knowing that its an extremely volatile and dangerous situation that your walking into and believing that you have what it takes to survive, no pun intended....................Rockin'

Good post.

Those are both great examples. I didn't want to mention Griffith-Paret because it's a tough subject. It is the unfortunate reality of the sport.

It was one of the most violent finished I've ever seen so it deserves mentioning in this thread.

I agree, it's a shame such a beautiful sport can have such brutal results.

Gerry Cooney KO'ing Ken Norton was just sick

Another one I just remembered was Razor Ruddock dropping Michael Dokes:

Pernell Whitaker dusted off Diobelys Hurtado pretty damn brutally.

Peret vs Griffith 3



Morisson vs Mercer

You list the loser first?

A couple of Ray Mercer bouts come to mind. Morrison and Pegues...

Miguel Cotto tends to stop his opponents in violent fashion. Vic Sosa, Ricardo Torres, Ray Martinez and Gianluca Branco would support that statement.

Castillo/Corrales bouts gave us two violent finishes. The early end to Ken Norton's night against Gerry Cooney was savage.

Pernell whitaker never caught me as violent. Rather precise, sharp and tactfull come to mind.

However, I never saw the bout that you speak of .........Rockin'

Pernell Whitaker dusted off Diobelys Hurtado pretty damn brutally.

What a great finish. I could only hope to one day be able to bludgeon someone with 1000 left hands as their body slumps lifelessly against ropes which hold them up for more punishment at the same time...
