    Name a fight which earned controversy with regards to the Outcome.

    Norton-Ali part 2 -- After the fight had ended, ali admitted that he did not win that fight convincingly and he was very upset eventhough the judges gave him that fight thru a split decision! Norton can't believe that either, and even today, after so many years had passed, people were asking norton about that fight and he would reply that he really won that fight!
    They never fought again, and i thought norton has just got ali's numbers when it comes to style--ali just can't do his magic over this fighter and i believe that if they would have fought after the second fight, norton would win the third one!

    Barrera-Morales part 1 & 2, the 1st fight belongs to morales, the second fight should be awarded to barrera (i am not so sure but i hope im right) or let me say, to be safe that the outcome of the 1st and 2nd should be reversed! Well i have a short memory.

    History of Boxing dates back for almost a century now but this controversy will not go away! Today, it is still happening! To the eyes of the millions of fans, Felix Sturm won over Dela Hoya, how did it happen? In my opinion, Boxing is not a popularity contest, and this is not about looks, this is about skills and courage inside the Ring of Battle! The boxer is a warrior, he should beat every enemy convincingly and takes his head off (figuratively speaking though!)

    I have news for you...Norton & Ali DID fight a third time.
    Ali won another controversial points win. It was in '77, in Yankee Stadium...this time the championship was actually at stake.

      i thought they fought only twice, the first one being won by norton (norton broke ali's rib right?). and the second one won by ali. sorry for this post, the information were inaccurate, anyway thanks for replying. next time, i'll check the data i am using before i post.

        Pacman-Marquez.

        There's so much controversy on who should have been given the
        win. Both became big winners in the end because of the draw.
