    Was just thinking...why dosent someone make a website which contains all the contravertial decisions as well as the judges to participated in those decisions. There should also be a way to see which judges were involved in how many bad decisions and by doing this we would be able to pinpoint which judges are messing up the scoring. What do you think??
    All it takes is some geek to create a website with a databas on the backend.

    great idea!!! while we're at it...let's change the rules a lil' bit....

    sobriety and vision test should be performed on all judges!!!

    too subjective

    Filipino would never mention the Pacquiao-Marquez bouts.
    Puerto Rican wouldn't mention Trinidad-De La Hoya.
    Mexicans may not admit Whitaker-Chavez.
    etc. etc.

    Have the judges available at the post fight press conference. Everybody else from the fighters to the promoters and referees are there, why not the judges?

    Put the fight up for vote on here. If more than x% of people disagree with the result, then post it on the website. Sure, there'll still be bias, but it will go some way to avoiding those situations where a vocal minority agree with a result.

    Something needs to be done about all these bad decisions. I dont know any other sport where judges can get away with so much corruption.

    The judges have no accountability. The best way to change their behavior is to make them accountable for their actions. Since there is not an official league, they should be held accountable to the public.

    Having them available at the press conference would eliminate a lot of corruption.

    No chance judges will ever be at press conferences. The tempers are often very high, and I believe their safety would be compromised.

    Also, I've covered 20-25 fights and don't recall ever seeing a referee at a press conference, pre or post fight.

    However I do believe that they should be held accountable in some form and do see some good ideas here.

    the best way personally is 5 judges, take away 2 highest/lowest scores..

    it's a good idea, but it would have to be done by one guy, a totally devoted boxing fan with zero bias.
