ATG's, No Controversial Wins

[Anthony342]

Good picks by Sugar Adam. I agree with Tyson as well.

Off the top of my head:

Alexis Arguello

Salvador Sanchez

Homicide Hank Armstrong

Bob Foster

Michael Spinks at lightheavyweight only

Jesus I haven't even begun to consider them all.

Arguello' fight with Ramirez was controversial.

Sanchez vs Cowdell wasn't too controversial but was very close.

[IronDanHamza]

Ok, so controversial decisions...in terms of Rocky, I guess the closest iffy decision may be the Charles fight, full 15 rounds, Charles winning a lot of the early rounds but Marciano finished so damn strong that it's hard to argue against him imo. But yeah, both guys hit so hard, they didn't really allow controversial decisions.

I can't think of any controversial decisions for Tyson either, was it Smith that took him to a decision in a close fight? But I still remember Tyson deserved the nod.

Has Wlad ever controversially won a decision? He has been KTFO and can be considered an ATG but when it comes to decisions, he pretty much wins comfortably. Same may go for Vitali and Lewis.

How about Marciano-LaStarza, expert?

Suprised a scholar of your level wouldn't know about that fight.

I'll have to check out the Arguello / Ramirez fight. Thanks.

It wasn't a robbery.

I scored it for Ramirez by 1 point I believe, but Arguello is my all time favourite fighter so you could argue I'm biased.

Either way Ramirez put on one hell of a performance that night. Superb defensive display and boxing skills. Power too, when he dropped Alexis.

The second fight was a stoppage and the first a very close decision. I haven't seen the first fight so I'll take the words that I've read and it was controversial at the time. Good reminder Dan, first time you've said something that has made any sense.

You're learning from me, keep it up.

Marciano beat LaStarza twice I believe, one was close the other wasn't but I do think the right man won both times, LaStarza is highly underrated I feel, that was a good fighter right there.

[RED REP]

Dempsey's whole career is a controversy!
The man's life and times are nothing short of an American Dream/fairytale!

So why did you just say "the closet iffy decision Rocky had was the Marciano fight" then?

Everyone knows that the first fight LaStarza was a controversial decision. Literally everybody. But clearly you didn't hence why you didn't mention it Your knowledge of this sport is extremely limited.

Learning from you What is your IQ like 7?

Yeah he beat him twice.

First one was controversial. Many thought he lost.
