The Worst Beatings in Boxing History?

Hard fight

Would've been interesting to see their reactions had they been told the scores at the time, which had Sosa clearly ahead.

Julio C Chavez v Edwin Rosario was a beating .

Some pretty bad beatings were:
1. Tito ruining Vargas and David Reid
2. Margo beating Cotto, likely with loaded gloves
3. JCC vs Haugen
4. James Toney vs. Prince Charles Williams
5. Roy Jones vs. Gonzales and Richard Hall
6. Nigel Benn vs. G-Man
7. Gabe Ruelas vs Garcia (beat him horribly and he died in the ring)
8. Mancini vs. Kim (another horrible beating that led to death

James Toney spectacularly knocked out Williams but I would not say it was a beating. I think Toney gave Barkley a worse beating that he did Charles.

Agree that the Barkley beating was worse, but feel that Williams took a consistent pounding for 11+ rounds before that horrific right/knock out. Similar to Roy vs. Glen Johnson, where Roy/Williams had a few moments and threw some back, but took pretty consistent punishment round after round (for many rounds) before getting stopped by a big shot. Barkley was taken apart by Toney and that fight pretty much ended his career at that level.

I remember thinking Toney was fighting the wrong fight against Williams being so close in all the time and he should keep his distance. For me the fight was not a one sided beating but close.
