What is the most punishment a boxer took in a single fight?

[titan m]

Mikkel Kessler vs Librado Andrade was brutal, probably not the worst beating ever but Kessler landed a ton of heavy shots in that fight. Andrade takes a good punch.

Dempsey was pretty much allowed to stand over Willard as he was getting up from a count.. bad stuff.

Yeah, it was because the neutral corner rule didn't exist back then.

Robinson's pummeling of LaMotta in the St Valentine's Day Massacre comes to mind too or Ali's thrashing of Frazier in Manilla ... sadly Ali himself was at the receiving end when Holmes had his way with him.

In more recent times, Briggs getting brutalised by Vitali, Cotto taking extensive beat downs from Pacquiao and Margarito all come to mind.

Billy Collins at the hands of dirty resto and panama Lewis comes to mind .. Taylor lost himself in the argualo fight , Dempsey Willard

[Easy Work.]

Ali took punishment in the holmes fight.

Marg got butalized by Shane then Pac. His face was bad vs Pac but vs Shane he looked broken as a man.

Briggs vs Vitali was harsh.

Pac Vs Hatton was a wipeout in violent fashion.

Berto vs Guerrero (though guerrero took big shots he did a number on berto)

Quintana vs Cotto was getting ugly.

Obviously Cotto vs Marg 1

Prov and Bradley both ways.

Vitali - Briggs was a slaughterhouse...

Pac/moralaes 3, morales got whooped up

[JJRod]

Of recent memory I'd say Pacquiao/DLH.

DLH took a heck of a beating in that fight.
To his credit he never went down, but man was it painful to watch.

Pac/moralaes 3, morales got whooped up

Still one of the saddest moments was when I saw Morales refuse to get up. Dude knew he just wasn't going to win.

Klitschko vs Briggs.
