Re: Which heavyweight title fight was the most one sided?
A better question is what mythical fight between top fighters from different eras would have been the most lopsided?
My vote goes to Jack Dempsey vs. Wlad Klitschko-I see Wlad shooting a couple of his weak jabs towards Dempsey, who is far too fast and skilled to be hit by such a "weapon," and after the third or fourth jab I see Wlad coming to on his back after about 30 or 40 seconds and having no idea what happened.

I'm inclined to agree. Spinks had a fearful look in his eye from the word go. Tyson's finest moment.telboy66 wrote:for me it has to be Tyson v spinks Tyson just walked right through him

How is it impossible. Dempsey was just as fast, hard hitting, and much more skilled than a Corrie Sanders. Fred Fulton was very much like Wlad . . .skilled, excellent left jab, athletic with a shaky beard, and Dempsey demolished him in under 20 seconds.elmersalsa wrote:That is IMPOSSIBLECharleyMitchell wrote:A better question is what mythical fight between top fighters from different eras would have been the most lopsided?

Ali and brave Richard Dunn was very one sided.

Joe Louis - Max Schmeling 2 was pretty one-sided.

Lewis-Rahman II. Rahman appeared to be a star in the making at the time.

That has to be the best example yet, simply because Spinks was touted by many as having the tools to upset Tyson!telboy66 wrote:for me it has to be Tyson v spinks Tyson just walked right through him
He didn't even come remotely close to it!

He prepared like a soldier for that fight & the taunting that Rahman subjected him to just fuelled Lewis' desire.
Re: Which heavyweight title fight was the most one sided?
Syntax, I don't remember it that way. There were some selling the fight but most people thought of it as a public execution. It was necessary, and made Spinks the money but I don't think he ever really thought he could win. Spinks dodged any genuine threat once he got past Holmes because he wanted that mega pay day. I think Spinks would have lost to Frank Bruno, let alone Tyson.Syntax Error wrote:That has to be the best example yet, simply because Spinks was touted by many as having the tools to upset Tyson!telboy66 wrote:for me it has to be Tyson v spinks Tyson just walked right through him![]()

I'll admit there was a tiny part of me that thought 'maybe' but that disappeared the moment Spinks walked out with his knee in a brace.
