The worst beatings you ever saw in your life- fights over 10 rounds, at least.
I know, it would be easy to say Gatti v Mayweather or DLH. But Gatti got stopped in both of those. I'm talking about 10 to 12 round ass-kickings that went the distance where the guy got thoroughly dominated from start to finish.
I can think of two right now, Holmes v Cooney. Gerry was never in that fight, but he kept on trying. Secondly of recent vintage, Khan v Collazo. Khah beat the shit out of that man for 12 straight rounds. It was pitiful. lol... watch it again and see what I mean.

Julio Cesar Chavez systematically beat up a game Edwin Rosario in 11 rounds to win the lightweight title. Both threw a lot of punches but Chavez landed more damaging ones.
James Toney beat up poor Iran Barkley and disfigured his face over 9 brutal rounds.
Bernard Hopkins beating up Joppy was a one sided beating but he could not put him away.
This is very rare but Jorge Castro was getting so badly beat up I thought he should have been stopped by the ref but somehow knocked out John David Jackson to turn the fight on its head. This is the reason why fights continue in the hope that this miracle can happen.

Ali vs Frazier 3. Both took a very bad beating. I can't watch the fight anymore.

Forgot another one of Holmes's fight- Holmes v Cobb. Made Howard Cosell quit being a boxing announcer.

Joe Calzaghe just beat the shit out of Jeff Lacy. It was just a one sided battering over a long period and Lacy was never ever the same again.

Great ones already mentioned. Was randomly watching some of Vitali Klitschko v Shannon Briggs the other night. Absolute thrashing. Little obscure but for some reason Aaron Davis v Vinny Pazienza always stands out. Didn't make 10 but looked like something from a Saw movie. Jorge Linares v Oscar Larios. Always a pleasure watching a boxer-puncher like early Linares paint a canvas. Tito v David Reid also. Reid did decent round wise but physically that was a brutal watch.

Jack Dempsey Vs Jess Willard
The beating was so bad that it could discourage someone from being a boxing fan. I've never seen anything like this. Dempsey knockdown Willard seven times in one round. Refs back then were something else

Forgot the Roy Jones Jr vs Richard Hall massacre. I felt sorry for Hall. He was strong, but he just could not fight on the level of RJJ. P.S., that referee Wayne Kelly should have been arrested for allowing RJJ to beat that man for 10 straight rounds like that. Hall could have been seriously injured.
