No...
I would say worse beatdowns were
Floyd-diego
Lennox-tyson
Tyson-berbick
Lennox-Golata
Lennox-grant
Lennox-ruddock
Floyd-gatti
Toney-holyfield
Calzaghe-lacy
Hopkins-joppy
Tito-Reid
Oscar-chavez
Manny-Hatton

Originally posted by ИATAS View PostI don't think that fits the criteria of this thread. Jones was a past prime fighter who long ago was considered "shot" and Calzaghe cherry picked the fight instead of fighting undefeated Kelly Pavlik, who all the fans and media were calling for at the time. Instead of taking a challenge after his narrow split decision win over 43 year old Hopkins, he chose Roy "don't worry son, he's not that good anymore" Jones jr.
Ironically, he probably could have had a "humiliating beat down" victory over the then red hot undefeated Kelly Pavlik but that opportunity instead went to Hopkins, the man who has always been willing to challenge himself and ended up actually humiliating the 17 year younger Pavlik.
Interestingly, nearly a decade later, Roy is still fighting. He's been shot for quite a few years now, but he wasn't at that time.
