    yea, thats kinda not the point of this thread, the majority of people did.. well because he did. DelaHoya quit... Now if you said you thought DelaHoya was wining, then you would be against the consensious

    I scored Clottey narrowly over Margarito.

    Many ESBers gave me **** over this for some time. Several went back and rewatched at my urging, all ready to give me even more ****. Most of those came back and humbly reported that with the distance of time they now had the fight a draw, or narrow for Clottey. The commentators' insistence that Clottey was a lame duck for the entirety of the last two thirds of the fight colored peoples' memories. It is simply fallacy that he lost every single round after the hand injury. There were some rounds in which despite his very limited activity, Margarito on his own end simply wasn't effective enough to award the points.

    Toney/Peter first fight I had Toney 10-2, brilliant counterpunching, I thought. I couldn't believe the scoring, and when most people seemed to think it was all right, I watched it again, and came to the same conclusiion.

    I had Toney easily winning in a first Peter fight.
    I also scored first Rahman fight for Toney.

    I didnt think Vitali/Lewis was that much of a great fight, yeah its a good scrap but its no where near the category of ATG HW fights.

    The consensus more or less had Toney winning the first Peter fight. That one doesn't really count here...

    I thought Holyfield should have had a TKO in his first fight with Lewis. The ref should have called it off when he was hitting Lewis in the third round. It was a robbery, just not for the reason most idiots think.

    You mean because God told Holyfield he would knock him out in the third? Pure blasphemy to get the fight go on...

    Seriously, how was that a TKO? Lewis won 7 - 8 of the next 9 rounds, he obviously wasn't hurt, maybe stunned but not hurt.
