Most brutal finishes against the ropes.....

[GAME]

Lennox Lewis vs Frank Bruno . . .

Poor Frank, just go down you idiot!

[X]

You've all got 'recent-itis' ..... referees stop fights much more quickly nowadays compared to the earlier ring history.

If you want to see shocking and brutal (and I mean genuinely brutal, not just a 'good finish', then watch Emile Griffith v Benny Paret.

[Master]

Lennox Lewis vs Frank Bruno . . .

Poor Frank, just go down you idiot!

At least in the 2nd Tyson fight learned to go down.

[C-Lo]

My personal favorites:

Pavlik vs Zertuche
Mercer vs Morrison
Maskev vs Rahman

Here's one no one mentioned. It hurt watching Pacquiao break this guy's body down..
