    I watched the Tale of Leonard Hagler on HBOs Legendary Nights and recall a quote at the end from somebody that went "Every time I watch this fight it gets closer and closer "

    What fights do you find the closes in history one where you watch a million times and still cannot put your finger on who really won.

    Carl Froch vs Andre Dirrell. Woo that was a close one.

    I agree it was close, but if a British man with 3 British fighters in his avatar says it's close. I think that's a concession that Dirrell won.

    Had it 114-113 Froch but easily can be either way. I remember starring 4 rounds meaning they could go either way cause I was not quite sure who won. Fight very much based on style of judging.

    Castillo Mayweather I

    I always gave mayweather the benefit of the doubt, until I shifted my focus to castillo and watched it again.

    I score that for Marquez by a single point every time. I find it easy to score.

    The first one, I always scored it a draw. I literally can't pick a winner.

    Watson-Eubank i've scored three times; once for Watson, once for Eubank, once a draw. Literally the most difficult fight i've ever scored.

    For some reason I scored it a white wash for Marquez just saw something I liked. Maybe 8-4 and a KD.

    I gave it to Floyd but it was very close Castillo's problem was the first 6 rounds he did not land too much

    2 people have used Watson Eubank as an example I never saw it. How was it a good action fight that was tough to score or a technical fight that was close

    ref calling the bogus KD messed it up, and goodness grief those judges were blind. I scored it a draw

    I flip flop all the time on the Marquez-Pac fights.

    Recently I've begun to do the same when it comes to Cotto-Mosley.
