    I agree with all of the above choices. I'll add Jimmy Young against Ken Norton.

    Yes, because if you score a fight for Duran you must be swallowing his dick, right?

    Well...Jack Dempsey knocked Gene Tunney out in the 7th round, so I would call that a pretty good losing performance. :D

    No, though I had it 7-6-2 overall for Duran. (I rewatched it last week, incidentally.)

    I think I had Duran sweeping at least four of the first five, which broke the back of it. Just thought he was landing the cleaner shots, really. Hagler was often more active, but not really effective.

    Maybe not :lol:

    That fight was Mayweather's pac-marquez... a gift decision for a rising star.

    Norton losing to Ali at Yankee stadium in '76............ Ali won on my card by a hair, and he did get the official nod as well........
    :deal

    MR.BILL:good

    Duran's loss to Hagler by a **** hair is reasonable....... Duran's 1996 decision loss to Camacho was a shaft scene.........:yep

    Holmes' loss to Mike Spinks in 1986 was robbery.......:hey

    B-Hops' decision losses to Taylor in 2005 were of question.......:think

    The list rolls on.......:yikes

    MR.BILL:hat

    Bowe-Golota I & II comes to my head but given the utter dirtyness, I don't think so.
