    Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns Draw, 1989
    Oscar De La Hoya Defeats Pernell Whitaker, 1997
    Park Si-Hun Defeats Roy Jones Jr., 1988
    Joe Louis Defeats Jersey Joe Walcott, 1947
    Floyd Mayweather Defeats Jose Luis Castillo, 2002
    Tito Trinidad Defeats Oscar De La Hoya, 1999
    Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield Draw, 1999
    Pernell Whitaker and Julio Cesar Chavez Draw, 1993
    Timothy Bradley Defeats Manny Pacquiao, 2012
    Sugar Ray Leonard Defeats Marvelous Marvin Hagler, 1987

    These are some of the famous very controversial and mischievous decisions by the judges, but there's a whole lottttttt more. In fact, too many to mention. This is all because they are still using a very subjective and outdated type of scoring system and is refusing technology to help make the scoring very easy and very accurate for them.

    And that is why:

    We now have the technology in our hands and this isn't 1800's anymore, change the scoring system and find a way to incorporate replay system with it; --every modern sports now have incorporated replay in their scoring system, why does the most dangerous sport in modern times, where every punch thrown can cause hematoma and death to human being still doesn't have the luxury of a truly accurate objective scoring system? Basketball has one now, Tennis has one now and a countless many other modern sports, and that's ridiculous because that's not so dangerous as boxing.

    If they can find a way to incorporate a replay system, we could eliminate 99.9 percent of those controversial and cheating perceived decisions. It's only fair, because these guys lives are in peril in every damnnn time on every second of the fight; and sometimes, one fight alone can determine where the direction of their life is heading, because for most of them, there is no life after boxing, and it's too damnnn hard to live knowing that in your heart you had it, but they took it away from you unfairly. They deserve fairness more than ever period.

      David Haye Vs Audley Harrison, definitely had to have been fixed.

      Then I'd definitely say both fights that happened with Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali.

        Pac vs floyd was fixed imo. It was nothing more than a money grab vs a shot fighter.

        But the judges had the fix in .no way manny was winning unless he stopped floyd.

          Mares vs Agbeko- The referee clearly took money under the table.

          Rios vs Abril- If the scorecards had Abril winning 120-108, I would have not complaints, yet Rios won that fight. Allowing for a 2 round margin of error, that still should not have happened; the fight was that one-sided.

                I think we need to define what are we talking about. IMO "fix" is a secret agreement BETWEEN FIGHTERS . The only one I can think about from recent years is Hopkins-DLH, especially as afterwards they appeared best buddies and business partners. All the rest are various cases of bad officiating.

                  There is a great article here about a promoter/manager who actually did fix fights.

                    Cotto vs Torres
                    Cotto vs Corley

                    Both hurt Cotto early and then for some reason stopped pressing. The Corley fight was more obvious.
