Most one-sided by way of an entire distance has to be Holmes/Cobb. Early KO's are too many to list.

Arturo Gatti vs Terronn Millett got a lot of repeat viewings from me in my early days of Boxing fandom

Floyd Mayweather vs Phillip Ndou

That's a few that come to mind.

Frank Bruno v Chuck Gardner, I think even Harry Carpenter could've flattened Gardner that night.

Bernard Hopkins vs Felix "Tito" Trinidad. That is the night that Hopkins became an all-time pound per pound great.

Some of Prince Naseem's fights... and for very differing reasons.

1998 Atlantic City, Hamed v Wayne McCullough

Naz would always have the beating of McCullough at feather and Wayne was not prime.....

…….but the Irishman point-blank refused to go anywhere and makes Hamed do the distance, there would be no early 'showreel' blowout or posturing from Hamed and although outgunned Wayne inflicted a moral victory of sorts by refusing to be made look stupid and repeatedly keeping Hamed very honest. In defeat - a one-sided one - Wayne won.

2001 Las Vegas, Hamed v Barrera.

By this point the unbearably arrogant Hamed - so often disrespectful of opponents - was not much-loved even by his entourage. Barrera comprehensively deflated the ego with some brilliant tactical and technical boxing. A long overdue comeuppance for Naseem and more popular in the UK than one might think.

Didn't McCullough suffer a very serious brain bleed shortly after the Hamed fight? Not sure any sorta moral victory is worth all that.

Wilder/Breazeale. The sound of that right was incredible.

That doesn’t sound right, if that had happened he wouldn’t have gone on to win a world title, more likely it was Augie Sanchez
