Fights you found unpleasant to watch

[Beanflicker]

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
