    How bout' Calzaghe over B-Hop?

    Taylor over Winky

    Due to the nature of the stoppage a case could be made for Corrales over Castillo...

    I'm with ya on Barrera-Morales 1 and 2, but 3 was a pretty clear victory for MAB

        Not sure if I would say the Barrera-Morales III fight was overly disputed either. At least I didn't think it was, certainly not in the same way as the others on that list.

            Tyson's 1st win over Ruddock was disputed, but he ****ed him up on a UD in the rematch so the controversy was forgotten.

            Same thing for EM's 1st fight wit Espadas. Some didn't like the call, but EM left no doubt the 2nd time, so he didn't lose any cred.

                  those are great samples....

                  Somehow i was thinkin of Leonard vs. Hagler and Sturm and Dela Hoya but somehow I forgot them (probably because of old age I guess...lols)

                  decision i mean in generality as in outcome...the Pac vs. Marquez although a draw, all of us whether for Pac or Marquez has an opinion one way or another with the Final Verdict also with Chavezvs. Sweet Pea...

                  Keep them comin guys...

                    The thread is about CONTROVERSIAL wins, not wishful thinking on the part of the visually disabled.

                    I suppose, though, any split decision is bound to be 'controversial' to some extent even when the judges have scored perfectly reasonably.
