Comments Thread For: On July 4, the best American boxers, decade by decade

[Oregonian]

I don't recall any of those fights had the same dynamic with the ref illegally interfering in favor of the boxer on the receiving end.

Once again, the framework of your argument is that Floyd lost despite being the fighter of the decade, ergo, he should not have been fighter of the decade.

So, let’s humor you and say Floyd lost to Maidana. So what?
Ali lost to Frazier, Norton and Spinks. So what? He was still the fighter of the decade.
SRL lost to Duran. So what? He was still fighter of the decade.

Two things can be true except you want to hold Floyd to a different standard because you dislike him.

Now go ahead and talk about Andre Ward or Crawford instead of responding to what I just wrote without shifting goal posts.

When did a ref do something illegally in a floyd fight?

This guy is going to go on a whole different tangent without answering a direct question like that.

When did a ref do something illegally in a floyd fight?

Is there a fight at the championship level where similar behaviour occured from the referee ?

They didnt call him GI Joe Calzaghe for nothing! Calzaghe born and raised in Omaha nebraska. They called him the slapping cornhusker as we all know. I Loved going down to the state fair as a young lad to watch him fight.

Wadn't there a booth set up ta where you could pay a buck and have him give you a slap. That was fun!
