Worst Decision?

I never watched the Foreman vs Biggs fight at the time and didn't really remember there being much controversy.
HOWEVER......I just watched it now on You Tube and found it shocking! At worst Foreman won that fight by 2 rounds, he was sensational for a 260Lb 48 year old former champ and could easily have been three or four rounds up at the end. The compubox stats favoured Foreman on accuracy at 58%! and punches landed to the tune of about 60 punches more. Even the rounds Biggs won were hardly dominant.
I cant believe this was Foreman's last fight. He wasn't shot and was very articulate in the post fight interview. This version of Foreman would probably do well against most heavyweights today. He'd give Wlad's and Haye's chins a fright!!!Comment

Yes Foreman for my money fought as well as he ever did in his comeback against Biggs.
For some reason that was one that flew into my addled brain, tomorrow I might not even remember George Foreman lol.
Think for this thread posters should concentrate on the real horror decisions not very close fights that they don't agree with the verdict.
I'm trying to claw out from my memory a fight from the 50's which was a real shocker and it came out years later that the judges had been got at. It will come god willing...Comment

Like I said I went into apoplexy when the 1st judge called it a draw lol.
