    You missed the one that saw one guy pitching a near shutout in a WBC title fight, only to have it scored a 12-0 shutout against him on a judge's card. :!:

    Christian Mijares? I remember the commentators assumed the announcer mixed the cards up because the couldn't comprehend how you could possibly have Mijares losing :lol:

    Yeah...it was Mijares vs. Navarro, and Doug Tucker's scorecard. Worst individual card of all time. Literally couldn't be any wronger. Twelve-zip to Navarro is an impossible score in that fight, and you'd be climbing uphill arguing for even a round for Navarro.

    Not true at all. Marciano was a gentleman and a helluva pugilist who hit like a freight train. There is just no denying he beat a lot of past their prime fighters and did have a couple of controversial decisions. His prime came in a somewhat weak stretch in boxing history, but that wasn't his fault and he has nothing to do with my disliking him, its just the truth.

    I just don't say he'd definitively beat fighters of the caliber he didn't beat.

    Holyfield/Lewis 1 and De La Hoya/Trinidad are the most obvious ones for me, it's a struggle to give Evander or Tito more than 3 rounds in those fights, clear robberies on the biggest stage.

    Another one is Reid/Ottke. While in reality the fight was close, it was only close because of the refereeing of the clearly corrupt Roger Tillman. Ignored a geuine knockdown in favour of Reid, deducted a point for a non existent headbutt, warning Reid for hitting Ottke and basically doing everything short of attacking Reid himself to ensure Ottke won.
