    All of this is true.

    Holmes vs Ali was the worst though ... at least the others could fight back, Ali hardly even fought back and was just being pounded in the corner.

    People were actually pretty pissed at Holmes after that ... I remember he even once recalled a woman tell him that she hated him because he "beat Ali."

I was disturbed how Vitali kept on wailing on him even in the later rounds, as was his right but I remember wishing him to just carry Shannon until the end.
    The referee was irresponsible and should have stopped the Briggs-Klitschko fight by the 9th round.

    Another one like that was the Vitali-Adamek fight. Adamek was too brave to quit, and for round after round he took a one-sided beating. Thankfully the referee in that one was more responsible and eventually did stop it.
    Briggs vs Klitschko was disgraceful ... Vitali kept going for the KO of the defenseless Briggs ... and the Klitschko's are called "gentlemanly" by their delusional fans. Vitali has had a history of poor sportsmanship ... Corrie Sanders (RIP) pointed this out too

    Liakhovich/Briggs was difficult for other reasons. What was the total punch count 20?

    Most recently: Kirland - Angulo. That fight should have been stopped by the end of the 3rd round.

    Emmanuel Augustus vs Ray Olivera on ESPN FNF a few years back comes to mind. Not 100% sure if memory is correct but I recall Augustus all but refusing to hit Olivera in the head after a certain point. Hard to watch but at the same time a great display of class by Augustus.....I became a true fan of his that night

    Derek Chrisora vs. Danny Williams was very sad. Williams should never have been allowed to get in the ring and he shouldn't have a licence now either.

    I agree with Gatti-Mayweather. That was a bad beating.

    I might've pulled Pavlik out alot earlier against Hopkins.

    Holmes-Ali should never have happened.

    I also feel quite sad when I see Riddick Bowe on a Klitschko undercard fighting a 4 rounder. He looks like a bear that has been taken away from his family and chained in a circus cage only to be pulled out and have to perform for people.

    Cotto vs Margarito I
    Seeing Angulo gassed out and getting beat on by Kirkland was a bit difficult especially since I was rooting for Angulo.

    All of Devon Alexander's fights are pretty unpleasant to watch as well.

    The one's I don't like are the one's where a guy has a great chin and is too tough for his own good and is just taking huge, unanswered punishment (think Tex Cobb vs Holmes or Roy Jones vs Richard Hall) and you know they don't have it in them to win the fight. Then it's no longer a competition, it's just a slaughtering.

    Take Jones vs Hall, Hall couldn't touch Jones all night and just kept stumbling forward awkwardly and taking bomb after flush bomb from Jones. Wasn't a contest between two evenly matched fighters, it was just a mugging.

    Also like everyone I hate watching fights where guys I like get whipped.

    When I first got into boxing the only three names I knew really were Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya and Roy Jones.

    Then over the next few years I had to watch them all take brutal losses (Tyson to Lewis and then Danny Williams, Roy to Tarver and Johnson, and Oscar to Bhop). Those fights were all very unpleasant and it was only many years later I could actually watch them and enjoy them for the skill that Lewis, Tarver and Bhop displayed in destroying my favorites.

    One man's brutal beating is another man's pleasant satisfaction.

    I loved Norris and Macho Man batter Leonard.

    I hated seeing :

    Gatti v Gomez
    Tyson v Lewis
    JCC v Oscar II
    Honeyghan v Breland

    felt bad for Foreman when Holyfield landed 36 unanswered shots...........poor old guy---prime George woulda KILLED Evander. He took those shots from a prime Holy with grace and self-respect and held it together. Then almost put Holy down next round with a glancing left hook. Seriously....



    also: i dont like watching earnie take this beat down---but Quarry was at his peak so give him props

    Unfortunately there are just too many. A few that stick personally
    Carl Griffith vs Serguei Artemiev way back...you could see him being hurt but wouldn't fold
    Meldrick Taylor in 2nd match with Chavez...one where the 'sell by' date had long expired. Terrible.
    Simon Brown vs Bernard Hopkins...shame on ya Bernard.
    Gabe Ruelas vs Jimmy Garcia
    Duran being led to utter slaughter with William Joppy. Absolute travesty.

    Ali -Frazier III, (the thrilla) Joe took a horrible beating and so did Ali, this fight basically end both pugs careers as well as ruining their health, very unpleasant to watch.

    Good calls, Duran being fed to Joppy is indeed a shame. Don't actually remember what kind of beating Taylor took against Chavez in the rematch, but on those same lines Oscar De La Hoya giving Chavez a rematch 2 years after knocking his dentures out was pretty worthless.
