      I didn't ever disagree to a UD.

      It's just not a significantly clear one.

      One you coul argue was 'reasonably close' despite the winner getting a relatively clear victory, despite not being convincing.

        Nah I see it 8-4, 9-3. Don't see Winky in this one although he has his moments.

            Absolutely no way in hell is it 9-3.

                What have you been drinking? I want some.

                The Ring never had Calzaghe higher than #3, and nor did any serious boxing rankings.

                    8-4 is significant enough for me.

                      Trust you to lower the tone of this thread.

                      By your reckoning Zsolt Erdei is obviously an ATG.

                      Standard of opposition is far more important than number of defences.
