    This.

    I feel sorry for Marquez as well but he gets to have a fourth fight with Pac and make a ton more money.

    People will look back when he is retired and not really care about the result as they will know it was a close fight.

    Lara on the other hand will get ducked and overlooked and might not make it as a top level fighter for a few years or at all now.

        Lara would be in the same situation win or lose--an avoided fighter without a belt.

          I didn't compare that too Marquez-Pac 3, I said that debacle took place a decade ago, as opposed to JMM-MP happened recently.
          I agree with you that Oscar beat Tito (and I was a Tito fan at the time). However, I don't feel bad for him because this was the only time Oscar ended up on the losing end of a controversial fight, while he ended up on the winning end of several controversial decisions, including Pernell Whitaker, Ike Quartey and Felix Sturm.

            I feel worst for Lara because it was by far the worst decision. The other fights were at least competitive.

                  Surprised nobody mentioned the Hagler-Leonard fight since people seem to be totally divided on that fight.

                  What about Taylor - Chavez? The decision to let him go, or not.

                  Out of the list though I do go with Lara. Williams has been impossible to get a decision over it's insane. Remember that judge with martinez-williams?

                  Speaking of Martinez...he's turned out for the better, but the Cintron decision..s...were cringe worthy.

                    Marquez has made money and is at the end of his career. Lara's career is completely stalled because of that robbery.
