    If not controversial,then uncommon,unpopular,oddball or minority?
    Some of mine;

    Im for multiple belts per division(better for the fighters.They get punched,we just watch.There are other reasons too)

    Im cool with the multitude of weight classes(same reason as above)

    Ray Leonard deserved the nod over Tommy Hearns in their draw rematch IMHO.Just.

    Fighting/laying on the ropes and countering(Toney,Jones,Floyd)is a greatly overrated skill.

    I'll think of more
    Anybody?

    The Taylor-Chavez stoppage was correct.

    I know this is the whole point of the thread, but Im gonna say it anyway... that fight should definitely have been stopped. If it was at any other stage in the fight it would have been, so that being the case it was right to stop it, even with only 2 seconds left IMO.

    Chris Eubank had the right style to beat Marvin Hagler.

    Yep,The Taylor camp messed it up themselves.
    Lou Duva goes towards the ring and distracts his fighter,who only had to say 'yep im ok' and last a few seconds.
    What was Steele to do?

    I agree that fight is either a draw or a 1 round win to Leonard. People remember the 2 Hearns knockdowns but Leonard had at least 1, and maybe 2, 10-8 rounds IMHO.

    I think he would still have eventually lost to Holyfield had he stayed prime and not derailed and lost to Douglas.
    Doesnt mean he cant be All time top 10 though.

    I totally agree.
    Ray had better workrate and landed loads of body punches.
    He also had Tommy in more trouble than vice versa,despite the KD's.
