10. Fit to be "Tied" Tie Domi's on Ulf Samuelsson
9. Paul Wilson, meet Kyle Farnsworth
8. Case "Closs-ed": Keith Closs getting beaten down by his fellow revelers outside a club on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles.
7. The other shoe falls--For sheer beatdown humiliation, nothing can top what Boston Bruins defenseman Mike Milbury did on Dec. 23, 1979 in Madison Square Garden.
6. Izzy a black belt?- On July 3, 2001, Red Sox minor leaguer Israel "Izzy" Alcantara conducted his own personal Six-Day War against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
5. Unlucky Bucky- As if being a mascot weren't humiliating enough, you get beaten down by a male cheerleader. Rough.
4. The Iceman cometh, beateth down: In terms of an all-time UFC beatdown, Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell's destruction of Tito Ortiz may be the best evidence for those who decry the barbarity of the Octagon. Liddell's pummeling of Ortiz was a cautionary tale for what happens when a superior wrestler squares off with a striker and can't drag the fight down to the mat. After 38 brutal seconds of relentless strikes from Liddell, Ortiz found himself alone on the mat, victim of a merciless beatdown.
3. Diego Corrales, fists of fury: What Diego Corrales did in the 10th round of his May, 2005 lightweight title fight against Jose Luis Castillo is not only one of the great boxing beatdowns of all time, but one of the towering achievements in sports history.
2. (Ryan)Express beating: When a 26-year-old third baseman charges a 46-year-old pitcher and gets his head handed to him, well, this is a very, very special beatdown.
1. Iron Mike and the Spinks jinx- The 91-second beatdown that drove Spinks into an early retirement.

Yes! Old Zim knocked down by lil Pedro. That was a nice brawl.
Kermit Washington?
My bad. I know a guy by that name so I mixed it up.
I'll never forget the beating Cam Neely gave to Claude Lemieux. Neely had told the television guys that he was going to do it and they laughed (mostly because Neely referred to Lemieux as a "gutless puke". As soon as the puck was dropped, so was Lemieux. Neely was actually bouncing Claude's head on the ice. They played the rest of the game with Lemeiux's blood still on the boards. It was a real "Slapshot" moment.
Don't forget Ike and Tina Turner.
Or Alec and Kim Baldwin...
Or how about Ann Coulter with anyone on the Today show?
Or how about Lloyd Benson on Dan Quayle?
Or Reagan on Carter or Mondale or Bush on Dukakis in the national elections?
But since this is sports beatdown those go somewhere else.
"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!"
Jim Rome and "Chrissy" Everett.
Here's a video of it. Top ten baseball fights by ESPN. Ryans beatdown of Ventura is number one.
Enjoy

Much obliged. Thanks!
I followed your link and watched that video again. A classic moment. Rome has not been the same since.
Terry O'Reilly (Boston Bruins), and Dave (The Hammer) Schultz (Philadelphia Flyers). Classic stuff.
And how about Terry O'Reilly v. MSG Ranger fans.
Terry really knew how to throw a right cross (and how to bleed).
I once saw Ralph Cox of the University of New Hampshire throw one punch and knock out a Boston College defenseman, break his nose and cover the ice with blood. It was the shortest hockey fight of all time.
Rome is bitch and deserved to get slapped.
Earl Weaver dished out a few good ones on the umpires in his day. Billy Martin was a classic as well.
