Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini vs Duk Kho Kim.
There's one that's brutal! The Korean fighter even died. I'm sure he did not intend to cement it with death, for its acclaim tho'. It destroyed Ray Mancini forever, unable to go all out in any of his succeeding fights, with that stigma hanging on his head.

This one was pretty brutal
I had a personal beef with this fight.No I wasn't born yet but when I watched all the hype and all of Cooney's earlier fight's Ken Norton was commentating and every single fight Cooney was in Norton bashed him and said some nasty racial s**t. Ala Holmes in there fight. Nobody put a gun to Norton's to get in the ring that night hell he thought nothing of Cooney but he was a great white hope who had been carried as later HBO would try to make clear with the legendary night's episode. All I can say is he disposed of Norton, Jimmy Young who beat Foreman, Ron Lyle, John Dino Dennis who was a very good fighter people forget about.
Frankie Liles vs Tim Littles
Tim Littles was fighting all dirty throughout the fight until he walked right through Frankie's right hook to the jaw. Wow! That punch could be heard clearly. I can imagine Liles saying in his head "Timbeeeeeeeer!". Time Littles went face first to the floor and stayed in that position until they counted 10.
A lot of people had racial things to say about Cooney's fights, especially the one against Holmes. Holmes was not the worst offender by far. Nor was Cooney. Nor was Norton.
Sure, Norton went in out of free will. And ended up taking shots while sitting on the ropes with his hands at his side.
