    By this i mean, an amazing fight that doesn't get spoke about much for been a great fight due to people complaining too much about the outcome.

    EG1 Lewis vs Vitali - An Amazing fight, on of the beast heavyweight fights of recent years. Only ever discussed to complaign about no rematch.

    EG2 - Manny vs Marquez - Both there fights are amazing instant classics. Toe to Toe wars that could have gone either way. Yet all people can talk about is how Marquez was robbed. Where in reality they were both close fights.

    Any other examples you can think of...

    Always thought Freitas-Barrios is an underrated fight.

    Pryor-Arguello I (mystery black bottle mixture)

    Buchanan-Duran (terrible low-blow, though Duran was winning by miles could've been DQ'd)

    Benn-Barkely (stupid 3 knockdown rule)

    Lewis-Holyfield I (worst judges scorecards ever)

    Liston-Clay II (blatantly fixed)

    jack britton beating benny laonard by DQ, leonard had britton down quite late in the fight and was behind on the scorecards. as britton came to one knee leonard struck a blow to britton how hard was disputed .the referee DQ'd leonard but many felt that a fix may of been in as this was so out of character for leonard

    Eubank - Watson for the same reason. A cracking fight but never lauded as one for obvious reasons

    Bowe - Holyfield. No one truly knows what happens if the fan-man incident doesn't happen.

    Word.

    Everyone always talks about how great of a comeback that was but to be honest he basically got 2 or 3 breaks to get his wits back. It was all by fouling too.

    It was cheap and its tainted the win for me. I cant classify it amongst Morales-Barrera Izzy-Marquez Ward-Gatti because of that.
