We've seen a couple of really one sided losses by Brits, in world title fights.

Last night Jennings was methodically taken apart by Cotto (vacant WBO welterweight title). Last year Lockett was hammered in 2 or 3 by Pavlik (WBO middleweight title). Last year Woods doing very little vs Tarver...)

What are the most one sided since, say, the 1990s?

Tyson v Bruno
Chavez v Holligan
Hamed v Hardy/Robinson

Woods v Jones Jr

Paul Lloyd v Barrera sticks in my mind.
Honeyghan v Breland another.
Tyson v Bruno II
Steve Foster v Winky
Crawford Ashley v Michael Nunn

Michalawski v Piper

Winky v Dodson
Barrera v Wenton

Danny Williams v Vitali Klitschko.

Williams showed a lot of heart in that one though.

without a doubt

You beat me to it. Nicky was down from the first jab, and his head was getting knocked back as though he was being hit with a baseball bat.

I didn't think Chavez v Holligan was that bad, because Holligan had a couple of decent rounds before the inevitable beatdown.

How about Mosley v Adrian Stone?

I don't think that this was a beating. Stone just got taken out, I believe in the 3rd or 4th, from a clinical combo from Mosley. Mosley looks like the best around when he does that.
Overshadowed for me by the fact he said he took drugs before boxing De la Hoya.

Yup, that was a one-sided brutal beating.

Agreed Stone was doing okay he wasn't getting battered or anything. But as he backed Mosley up to the ropes in the third he smiled at Mosley to which Mosley replied by cracking him with right hook which scrambled his senses and a series of rights finished by a left-uppercut/overhand right combo sent Stone out for the night.

Ali v Dunn and London
Patterson v London

Ensley Bingham V Winky Wright is a largely forgotten one.

Fernando Vargas v Howard Clarke at Madison Square Garden... Howard got an IBF world rating on the back of beating Jason Papillion in an eight rounder in the depths of the night on an undercard... then found himself boxing for a world title at the Garden... in New York City he could have been completely overwhelmed by just being there, but set out to enjoy the experience and remember it, as well as try his best to win. After taunting Vargas playfully at the weigh-in, Vargas was seriously cross and Howard wandered off, grinning: "Round One to me, I think!" In the fight he kept at a distance well enough for three rounds, then he and Pat Cowdell in his corner thought, we can do this all night, but let's at least have a go a bit - and Vargas put him away. He was down five times, I think. I've always liked Howard. He had more ability than his performances after 1999 showed.

yeah, all Winky's fights in Britain were too easy, Foster Sr, Bingham, Dodson.

It's a shame Adrian Dodson was thrown in so early. He was a talented bloke - tipped for big things - and was ruined by that fight. A horrible fight for a prospect as when you fight Winky there is no target to land on. Ppl seem to have forgotten about Dodson completely these days.

I cannot remember his name but some Irish or Scottish guy got blown away in the 1st or 2nd round of a WBO title fight in the 90's and for the life of me I cannot remember who it was. Possible at light welter.

Eamonn Loughran?

I use to train at the same Gym as i was 13 odd use to really look up to him, in sparring he was different class... A really nice fella if you was on the right side of him..

Yes mate, thats him.

Down three times in 90 seconds (I think) against everyone's favourite ganja-smoking, body-boarding, big-wave-ridin' Mexican hippie surfer stoner southpaw Jose Luis Lopez.

I remember Loughran was thought of as the coming man in the welterweight division, but got brutalised. It was live on ITV as well...

Here's one for the thread: Michael Hunter versus Stevie Molitor.

I don't remember it clearly but it was one of the "Most one sided defeats of Brits in world title fights" as i recalled. I think it's probably just the dramatic, clinical finish that stands out most in my mind.

Fancy putting the lad who sang "Walking In the Air" in with a world champion.
