    Y'all know what Resto-Collins, Cotto-Margarito, and Wilder-Fury II all have in common for sure?



    Bob Arum.
    Top Rank is one of the leading promotors they have one of the largest stables in world boxing, only stands to reason that anything can be linked to them through sheer monopoly of the numbers involved.

      Bob Arum.
      They were all prize fights too. Ban boxing.

      Any other coincidences?

          How many glove controversies does King, Warren, or Duva have under their belts?

            King promoted Tito, who was accused before the Hopkins fight of wrapping his hands in an illegal way. Warren is co-promoter for Fury.

            Usyk-Chisora, Davis-LSC, Whyte-Rivas had people on this site claiming something crooked happened with gloves. Roman was caught with no padding before the Foster fight. Arum not involved in any of those

              I didn't accuse Arum of anything, that's just others inferring an implication based on a name drop alone.

              King's a pretty big promoter for a fairly long time during eras that were undoubtedly more lax but all he has is a maybe? Accusations? that's more interesting than Bob's being apart of two known and proven cases. I'm gonna dig on King, I think there's probably more there.

              The rest of those are rather recent compared to Collins and Cotto. I wonder if cheating is getting worse.

              And I'm sorry but you've earned at least a little smartassery; you don't ****ing say? Gee bud, I missed Warren's ass sat there by Tyson for the past several ****ing years...

                  Good lord, I only didn't include Hearn because I thought he was too new for such ****.

                  Seems like glove controversy is a relatively new thing actually. Probably because guys like Fitzs and Jeffries gave no ****s.

                    Lol yeah, Whyte/Rivas and Chisora/Usyk both have glove controversies. The usyk fight there’s even a video of usyk’s team saying the gloves are bad and the BBBoE saying they’re fine.
