Should a Split Decision always lead to an Immediate Rematch?

Should it be a part of general boxing rules, the same as a low blow, the same as no biting.. If a fight is ruled a Split Decision should every governing body have a mandatory rematch rule? Split Decision = Immediate Rematch - a new rule in boxing?

No, because there are some real farking morons for judges, and if you rematched every SD, you'd end up with alot of lopsided or boring fights people would have to sit through.

calzaghe vs hopkins was sd when it wasnt really that close, same with mayweather vs oscar

yeah, why not.

if its a sd let it be, but it should be a rule if the fight ends in a draw then a rematch should happen

no because some fights will always end in a SD, like Pac v. Marquez.

calzaghe barely beat hopkins.

floyd clearly beat dlh, it should've been unanimous, but you know there was big money in the rematch so floyd got the SD.

Of course not.

Would you have wanted to see a rematch between Jermaine Taylor and Cory Spinks?

Should Floyd Mayweather-Oscar De La Hoya have been a SD? No. Tom Kaczmareck has cataract problems.

Jt-Spinks, Calzaghe-Hopkins, Floyd-DLH incredibly boring fights would you want to see them again?

Seriously. Should Mijares-Munoz or Mijares-Navarro really be a rematch? No.
