7. Tyson Versus Larry Holmes
There is no nice way to put it. Watching Mike Tyson demolish an overwhelmed Larry Holmes would make even a diehard fight fan feel a bit uncomfortable. Holmes was, in the closing seconds of the fight, seemingly attempting to survive more so than he was trying to win, and Tyson patiently stalked his prey as he waited for an opening. That opening arrived in the fourth round, and Tyson connected with a devastating blow to Holmes’ head. Holmes very well may have been out cold before he hit the mat, and the referee did not even bother wasting his time with a ten count.
