    McCallum - Toney I, Weaver - Dokes, Hearns - Leonard II, Hagler - Antuofermo I, Benn - Eubank II, Whitaker - Chavez, Quarry - Patterson I... Not to say that all of them were deserved draws.

    Good call on Brian Mitchell-Tony Lopez I. As I recall, I had Mitchell winning by a couple rounds but it was a good scrap, as was the rematch that he won more handily.

    I don’t think there’s any film to prove it, but I’d be willing to bet anything (based on their other fights) that Bobby Chacon-Rafael Limon II was a barnburner.

    It ended in a technical draw after seven on some obscure rule in place at the time: Schoolboy Bobby was ahead on all three cards but they ruled that he was responsible for Limon getting cut on an accidental butt, so it was a draw because he was ahead. If Limon had caused the accidental butt, he would have lost due to scorecards; if Bobby was behind, he would have lost on scorecards since he caused the cut with a butt. Even though it was accidental.

    Those two were made for each other. I just can’t imagine them having anything less than a really good to great scrap.

    I loved Starling - Breland II. If we're gonna include modern draws, though, GGG - Alvarez has a place here as well.

    Agreed, Lopez was lucky to get the draw.

    Fights 2 thru 4 are all on film. The only 1 of their fights that I haven't come across is the 1st.

    Here's footage of the 2nd (draw).

    Golota - Byrd was a damn good scrap. I must've shaved it from my mind, considering I had it as a win for the Pole.
