im going with floyd-pac, not that it was the worst decision ever but simply because of how many people got it wrong. most people seem to think floyd won simply based on inaccurate compubox numbers. when in actuality they landed almost the same amount, but the majority of pac's punches were clean, the majority of floyd's were not landing cleanly, the vast majority of pac's punches were power punches, the majority of floyd's were jabs. pac clearly won the clean punching and defense categories, but floyd was given the fight because he "outboxed" pac which is puzzling and contradictory if you aren't landing clean and don't have the better defense. this fight revealed that fights are won based on perception/reputation and not on reality. even to this day you will still see people saying floyd won because he did what he wanted, he controlled the fight, other things that ignore the actual action that took place in the ring.

Nobody cares of somebody that got beat 11 3/4 rounds and lands one good punch at the very end with no time on. Move on dude

The most bullshıt promotions company getting away with corruption all the time. Doesn't matter if Bradley averaged 8/4 rounds over Vargas. Look at the scorecards and compare any boxing match? How many boxing matches are there in year? Bradley was going to get knocked out. I'm a fan of both fighters. Don't get it twisted, like your knowledge on boxing.
