    Was Holyfield robbed against Valuev?

    I only seen the fight once, when I watched it live, and I was left with the feeling that Holyfield should've gotten the decision. Holyfield would've won the WBA title.

      I thought Holyfield won. But there was so little action during the fight that I can see why they gave it to Valuev.

            Maybe, but Holfyield was probably the most prolific PED user in boxing history, so I have zero sympathy.

                  yes, holyfield was robbed bad. i was one of the only canadian reporters to make the trip to score the fight on press row. there's no way valuev won that fight.

                    Never rewatched it but remember thinking Holyfield clearly won and that it was a robbery at the time. That said, i remember not fully focusing on the fight as i had guests visiting for christmas time. It was a poor fight though and maybe if i saw it again it might seem closer.

                    Those 10 years have gone quick...
