    De la Hoya/Trinidad. Not the biggest in terms of scoring wrongs (it was actually a close fight), but the scale of the event was huge...and Goldie beat Tito.

    Casamayor/Santa-Cruz from last year was brutal.

          De La Hoya/Sturm.

          Sturm won that fight by 3-4 rounds on my scorecard. And it was difficult to score like B-hop vs Joe C.

            In terms of damage to boxing's credibility I think Chavez' draw with Whitaker, DLH's win over Whitaker, Holyfield's draw with Lewis in the first fight, Trinidad's win over DLH, Mosley's win in the second fight with DLH and DLH's win over Sturm hurt boxing the most. Those were six of the 10 or 12 biggest fights of the last 15 years and they had questionable decisions. When people say "all boxing matches seem like they're fixed" this is what they are referring to. Most of us in here watch enough boxing to know that this isn't close to being true, but those decisions hurt the sport.

                In mind coming Ruiz vs Valuev, IMO Ruiz won the fight easily

                  Yep, that was a bad one, especially as the referee was party to the cheating as well as the judges, I've never seen anyone warned for a correct punch before or since.
