    Good list,but Funeka-Guzman 1 needed to be on there.I simply don't know how that fight could be ruled a draw.Guzman won the 1st 2 rounds & was shut out for 10.The most comparable fight to that off the top of my head was Floyd-Mosley,(which was scored correctly)!!

      For me personally, I would move number #3 to #1, that's the only time I've ever said fu¢k boxing.

      Boxing died to me that night.

        Honesly, I didnt see the Jones Tarver fight as controversial. Tarver dominated the first 2 rounds, and did nothing consistent afterwards. 115-113 Jones. He was more consistent but wasn't superman, and I think that is the reason many call this fight controversial; but it wasn't. Tarver's crying after the fight caused some as well, but he got the last laugh anyway. Bottom line, Jones won the first fight and it was a close fight, but controversial, no.

              Byrd/Oquendo, Foreman/Briggs, and Foreman/Shultz. HORRIBLE decisions on all three.

                  I wouldn't go as far as robbery, but close and controvesial yes.

                  Its one of those fights where you score it for one fighter, then watch it again and score it for the other.

                    I haven't watched that fight in years. I recall being initially outraged at the decision, then scoring it later and having a different impression. As I've mentioned in recent threads, some fights look different to you when you're not scoring. If you seriously watch and score, you often come away with a conflicting opinion of the fight.
