Are Marquez and Wright the 2 most robbed or slighted fighters in the 00's???
Marquez' has 6 losses on his record and a draw. 2 to Pacquiao, 1 to John, 1 to Norwood, 1 to Mayweather, and 1 DQ in his first bout ever, as well as 1 draw with Pacquiao. One could easily make the argument that the only real losses Marquez has is the loss to Mayweather and his DQ during his first bout ever.
Marquez clearly won the Norwood and John fights to me, as well as the 2nd Pacquiao fight. I don't see how any can realistically debate those 3. The other really questionable fight with JMM was the 3rd Pac fight obviously. I initially scored the fight a draw, and having watched it multiple times since, it could have gone either way. As far as the draw with Pac, I scored the fight for Manny by 1 point. JMM won more rounds, but the 3 knockdowns won Manny the fight to me. Either way, Marquez has 3 fights with Manny Pacquiao, as well as fights with Freddie Norwood and Chris John where many feel he was robbed or slighted.
Wright clearly won the Simon fight, as well as the Jermain Taylor fight. The Fernando Vargas fight was close, but watching the fight I thought Winky controlled most of the action and landed the more effective punches, as did most. Wright lost to Vasquez early on, and did lose to Hopkins at 170, though I thought it was closer than the scorecards indicated. And he did lose to Williams coming out of retirement bascially. That still leaves the fights with Simon, Vargas, and Taylor where most felt Winky Wright was robbed. The Vargas and Taylor wins would have added a lot to Wright's legacy.
Do you feel these 2 guys are the most slighted/robbed fighters in the 00's??? Or is there some other guys you feel have been more slighted???
