    SRL-Hagler is the obvious one in which fans disagree on the winner
    what other fights? Maybe Delahoya-Sweat Pea

    Interesting question. Ali - Norton III, maybe Ellis - Patterson.

    Really, I thought it was so close it could easily have been given either way.I gave it to Leonard but had no quarrel with those making Hagler the winner and many respected boxing people did.imo It was too close to call it a robbery whichever way it went.
    I would in fact be very circumspect in putting faith in the ability of some one to judge a bout who saw this fight as producing a clear unarguable winner.

    Leonard won this fight clearly, using the footwork and speed moving around and even when they traded leonard looked better cause his superior hand speed and he always had the last word
