The greatest beatdowns in history

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Alright I apologize for being late on this one, but I thought this would turn into another "see, this is what we need" thread.

The Nolan Ryan beat down of Robin Ventura was a classic beatdown and was a lot more than noogies.

I know none of us are huge fans of ESPN but this deserves to be high on the list.

Nolan was over 40 for that fight, Ventura was under 30. He thought he could take the old man, ran at the mound and Nolan put him in a headlock and punched him in the head 5-6 times

Ryan looked like he was having a blast, he didn't lose his hat until people were tackling him off of Robin, and Ventura got absolutely embarrassed by a 40-something year old man.

That belongs on the list, it was not your typical baseball fight.

If you watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUfJ1C8pGI4

I know it is blurry but watch the last punch, that was a legit uppercut to the face.

In hockey when you throw noogies like that you're called a wuss, in baseball when you do that, you're called Rocky Marciano. That's why I think baseball is for girls.

Are you serious those were legit punches did you watch the video, most hockey fight early punchs hit a helmet.

And I didn't say it was a hockey caliber fight anyways, what I said was that it was a beatdown that belonged on that list.

Because a 20 something year old got his ass handed to him by a 40 year old pitcher.

But if you still think they were noogies, find a friend let him put you in a headlock and punch you in the head and face 5 or 6 times and then tell me they were noogies.

This wasn't Pedro throwing an old man to the ground this was an actual fight, which I know sounds weird for baseball but the old man was beating him badly.

Was McCarty's beat down of Claude worse (I guess in this case better) YES Without a doubt YES. especially when you consider the emotion and the rivalry.

But also without a doubt Nolan beating up boy wonder belongs on that list.

That's why I think baseball is for girls.

After reading that I see there is no point in talking to you about this, you definitely are not openminded about this and I will stop now.

Is for girls, you should have t-shirts printed that say s*** like," [blank] is for girls" and see how often you get laid wearing them, way to bring us back to the 40's

I don't intend for everything I say to be printed on T-shirts and neither does anyone else. As for being open-minded, I'll give you that one. I do hate baseball and am strongly biased against it. I just don't understand how something like this can be considered a beatdown when there was no real punches landed. Then again, the entire list was put together by 12 year olds working for espn, so why even bother.

Wearing those T-shirts would get someone plenty of action if they are an attractive girl and [blank] is vulgar.

And I kinda like the Nolan Ryan-Robin Ventura beatdown. Sure, it is baseball (which is one of the few sports I don't think they let girls play), which sucks, but it was the best baseball beating I've ever seen.

For prosperity's sake and to help conclude their inclusion of every sport this...

...definitely deserves a spot. The beat down so severe it was used as fodder by politicians to shut down the UFC.

You should check out the pictures of last weekend's fight between Babalu and David Heath.

That's not Babalu's blood... And the tape around his gloves was white before the fight started.

Yeah, so I heard anyways. I caught the main card but missed the preliminaries, however a rather large bloodstain was very evident through out each bout. Didn't find out till the next day however, made me wish Babalu would of (and probably should have) been part of the main event. Especially considering the speculation that he held his choke too long, really wanted to see that >_<
