Most one-sided defeats suffered by Greats (prime or near prime only)

[The Hammer]

Schmeling-Louis

[White_Knight]

Tyson-Douglas was pretty one sided, and a fighter only needs to beat the referee's count, not some exact-to-the-microsecond count that no-one is counting out loud to him anyway.

Tyson-Spinks was another one-sided affair.

Man, not for nothing, Serg is my boy and all, but he's not "a great." Great fighter does not equal "great" as in ATG.

Am I missing something here? I haven't seen anybody list that fight in this thread.

I agree though, if we're talking about ATGs then Sergio, nor Cotto for that matter, are ATGs. And LOL @ Douglas, Sanders and Hatton being listed. The OP listed Douglas-Tyson as a one sided affair between two 'greats' so I'm not really sure what's the purpose of this thread.

Ali-Liston
Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez
Pernell Whitaker-Julio Cesar Chavez (discounting the decision)

and I've never seen this fight but I hear the second fight between Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake Lamotta was pretty lopsided. SRR probably hadn't quite entered his prime yet.

yeah, Douglas seemed aware, lucid, and was listening to the count, and got up when he needed to. Doesn't mean he would not have gotten up if the count was faster.

Now if the KD had occurred a minute earlier, it may have been different, given Tyson's finishing skills.

But Douglas otherwise dominated the fight, Tyson won 1 other round, at best.

Douglas was knocked out. He was clearly down for 10 seconds. The referee robbed Tyson's victory.

never really timed it.......seems douglas should have been counted out.
