A sickening display of injustice in the boxing world

[kallsop]

The poll stated 41% people think Taylor won. 35% think Hopkins won and 24% think it was a draw. That means that a total of 59% of people polled believe that Taylor did not deserve the decision.

Using the same logic, 65% believe Hopkins did not deserve the decision.

A plurality believe that Taylor won.

Thanks for posting the poll results. It's a shame they conclude the opposite of what you want.

I personally believe Taylor didn't do enough to take the titles. I am thinking it should have been a draw.

yea atleast a draw, taylor didnt do enough to take the mans belts away.

I'm sure this has already been talked about but a month later one of the biggest injustices in boxing history still stings. Bernard Hopkins won that fight-I know it and so does most people. A recent poll on ESPN shows that most of America believes a bad decision happened in Taylor Vs. Hopkins. The poll stated 41% people think Taylor won. 35% think Hopkins won and 24% think it was a draw. That means that a total of 59% of people polled believe that Taylor did not deserve the decision. I do not recognise Taylor as the Middlweight Champion because Hopkins is still the champion no matter what these crooked judges scored. Hopkins had Taylor hanging on for dear life at the later half of the fight. The rightful man is not at the throne right now. A great injustice in the world of boxing. Disgusting.

He was beaten...face it! BH did nothing for nearly 9 rounds, then thought Taylor would have tired and he could take him out. Yes...Taylor tired...justifiably so. He was the only one doing the fighting!
It's well known that a champion will retain the crown, if the fight is very close. Taylor TOOK the fight.
Next time out, Taylor will KO the chump!

There have been bigger robberys in boxing than this fight.Lewis vs Holyfield one was not a draw Lewis won every round.Both Quartey and Whitaker beat De La Hoya and were robbed Norton got robbed against Ali so this is no big deal.If Hopkins would actually try to win the whole fight instead of acting like Ruiz and holding he would of won so you can only blame him.

hopefully we can finally put a stop to this argument in december

hmm

Who cares what "America" thinks? Average American doesn't know how to score a fight anyway. All that matters is hard core ops, and guess what, the majority of hardcore fans feel TAYLOR WON (55% on this website). Just because there is a significant contingent that feels Hopkins won, that doesn't mean Taylor's win is not legit. His win is legit. Now, BERNARD is the challenger. DEAL.

Steck das in deiner pfeife und rauch es.
