Most popular with judges/immune to losing decisions: Saúl Álvarez, Danny García, or Jessie Vargas?

Of these prominent Latino boxing world champions, which has the biggest reputation for either gift decisions or excessively/questionably favorable scorecards (regardless of how they affect outcomes)?

Saúl Álvarez Barragán

Got controversial, extra-friendly treatment from judges (in the eyes of a majority or sizable minority) versus:

• Gennady Golovkin (Adalaide Byrd's card) - I had it 115-113 Golovkin.
• Miguel Cotto (Dave Moretti's and to a lesser extent Burt Clements' and John McKaie's cards) - I had it closer to 116-112 or even 115-113 for Canelo. Result the same but those cards were too wide.
• Amir Khan (Glenn Trowbridge's and to a lesser extent Glenn Feldman's cards) - I think I had it like 49-46 or 48-47 Khan, as did most.
• Erislandy Lara (Levi Martinez's and to a lesser extent Dave Moretti's cards) - I had it 116-112 Lara
• Floyd Mayweather Jr. (CJ Ross' and to a lesser extent Dave Moretti's cards) - I had it, as everyone knows, a shutout for Mayweather.
• Austin Trout (Stanley Christodouou's and to a lesser extent Oren Shellenberger's and Rey Danseco's cards) - I had it 114-113 for Trout.
• Alfonso Gómez (Alejandro Rochin's and to a lesser extent Ray Corona's and Max DeLuca's cards) - I had it 47-47 as of the stoppage.
• Lanardo Tyner (all three cards - judges' names unknown) - while Canelo deserved the nod it was by no means a shutout, nor even 119-110. More appropriately in the 115-113 neighborhood, with a draw reasonable enough. Dead serious. This one is on YouTube, go check it out.
• Larry Mosley (Ray Corona's and to a lesser extent Jerry Cantu's cards) - see Lanardo Tyner. Another forgotten early test for Canelo which he nearly failed. This one is also up on YouTube. Corona's scorecard is a joke.

Decisions that I have no problem with: Matthew Hatton, Shane Mosley, JCC Jr., etc.


Daniel Óscar García

Got controversial, extra-friendly treatment from judges (in the eyes of a majority or sizable minority) versus:

• Keith Thurman (Kevin Morgan's card) - I had it 116-112 Thurman.
• Robert Guerrero (all three - Rey Danseco's, Max DeLuca's and Steve Weisfeld's cards) - I had it 115-113 García, which is a minor enough quibble since the official judges only had it a round wider.
• Lamont Peterson (Kevin Morgan's and Steve Weisfeld's cards) - I had it 116-112 Peterson.
• Mauricio Herrera - (Carlos Colon's and Alejandro Rochin's and to a lesser extent Gustavo Padilla's cards) - I had it 116-112 Herrera.
• Lucas Matthysse - (Glenn Trowbridge's card) - I had it 114-112 García. Again, minor quibble, just a round off, but still don't see another round to budge García's way from my card.
• Erik Morales I - (Samuel Conde Lopez's card) - I had El Terrible winning three or four rounds, IIRC.
• Ashley Theophane - (Gerardo Venzor's and to a lesser extent Raul Valencia's cards) - I had it tight but clear for Theophane last time I watched it, scored it a draw once.
• Nate Campbell - (Glenn Trowbridge's and Duane Ford's and to a lesser extent Al Lefkowitz's cards) - I had it 96-94 García.

Decisions that I have no problem with: Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, etc.


Jessie Vargas

Got controversial, extra-friendly treatment from judges (in the eyes of a majority or sizable minority) versus:

• Emanuel Dapirdran Pacquiao - (Dave Moretti's card) - I had it 118-109 Pacquiao.
• Timothy Bradley Jr. - (Max DeLuca's and to a lesser extent Kermit Bayless' cards) - I had it 117-111 Bradley.
• Anton Novikov - (Burt Clements' and Dave Moretti's and to a lesser extent Glenn Trowbridge's cards) - I had it 114-114.
• Khabib Allakhverdiev - (Robert Hoyle's card) - I had it 115-113 Vargas but on rewatches have scored it a draw or 115-113 Allakhverdiev.
• Ray Narh - (Adalaide Byrd's and Dave Moretti's and to a lesser extent Jerry Roth's cards) - I had it 95-94 Vargas, but only gave Vargas the last round 10-8 due to protocol, despite saying in my RBR post on the night that I thought Narh won the other 99% of the round. Make it 10-9 Vargas instead and I have it a draw, 94 apiece.
• Wale Omotoso - (Gwen Adair's and to a lesser extent Jonathan Davis' and Fritz Werner's cards) - I had it 95-94 Vargas with no further budge room for Vargas on my card (yet could easily find a round to swing Omotoso's way to make it 95-94 for him)
• Aaron Martinez - (Richard Houck's card) - I had it 97-93 Vargas.
• Vito Gasparyan - (Al Lefkowicz's and to a lesser extent Richard Ocasio's and Glenn Trowbridge's cards) - I had it 96-93 Vargas.
• Steve Forbes - (Adalaide Byrd's card) - I had it 98-92 Vargas; academic but Forbes definitely had two hard-earned rounds.
• Jose Manuel López - (Patricia Morse Jarman's and to a lesser extent Duane Ford's cards) - I had it 95-95 López

Decisions that I have no problem with: Aaron Herrera, Antonio DeMarco, Lanardo Tyner (although he did make Vargas work hard for his rounds, numerically it was still a 9-1 rout), etc.

 

Spent my whole afternoon on this stupid thread and not a single like for my OP.

 

Hell yes, Fly Boy is the salt of the earth type for whom I came up with my thread idea.

 

I hope the skimpy bullet point section hasn't prejudiced votes in Vargas favor as if he weren't on the exact same tier of judges' favoritism as the other two...
