    Fights where the better fighters lost....

    Jones vs. Tarver 2 and 3 spring to mind.
    DLH vs. Tito
    Hagler vs. Leonard
    Hearns vs. Leonard
    Duran vs. Leonard 1.
    Maybe Forrest vs. Mayorga? I don't like saying that one because I don't like Vernon.

    What other fights can you think of?

    I know most of the ones I listed are debatable. I'm not passing them off as fact. Just put them up for discussion.

        I agree with all of the fights you posted.

        Tszyu-Hatton perhaps. Keep in mind that I have very little respect for Hatton's style though so I may be biased.

                  That's okay, I think you are right. We are all bias my friend.

                  I can't believe I forgot that one!!!!! Douglass was not going to lose on that night though! He was completely determined.

                    yes! Cotto fought the wrong fight. He is more skillful than Margarito IMO.
