    I know Norton tried to press the fight early on, but he just didn't seem that effective against Scott like he should have been. Ledoux's knockdowns of Ken in round 9 and 10 should have pipped it for him from my memory. But whatever you or I say will not change anything!

    Not true, the 'worldwide' scope of the Internet means you could spin a result you want from it. Ignoring all evidence that showed otherwise and just banging on and on about it, until the general consensus was your spin. It worked for Churchill and World War II; and he probably did not have/use the Internet; so it surely could work for a fairly obscure boxing fight! ;)

    I understand what you mean bud, but that's not me, I will leave that sort of stuff to the politically motivated. It's how they get their buzz.

    Winky Wright vs Jermain Taylor fight as well. Thought Winky won atleast 8 rounds.

    The worst I've seen was probably Daniel Judah against Glen Johnson. Holy/Lewis was the most notable.

    Definitely Hagler-Antuofermo.

    Sweep Pea v Chavez Snr seems to be the most controversial for most. :think

    Nothing too wrong there. The problem was the Petronelli/s telling Hagler to take it easy in the later rounds.

    Before I clicked on the topic, I was trying to come up with any draws prior to Hagler-Antuofermo I and came up with nothing. Yeah, I know draws happened before 1979, but it seemed the controversial ones really proliferated in the Don King era.

    I've got to go with Lewis-Holyfield I, not only for the decision itself but the amount of controversy it kicked up with the general public.
