    This one wins - that was just awful. Haven't seen amateurs since then.

    I agree with Tunney v. Depsey. I might also add Willard v. Johnson...although most agree it was on the level including myself. Other candidates could be Seldon vs Tyson (2 phantom punches) and Lewis Holyfield I.

    Chavez settled any controversy the next time they fought.

    griffith paret and mancini kim are for obvious reasons
    I never understood the logic behind dlh trinidad oscar being the bigger attraction, bigger money maker, in las vegas, and kicking titos ass, to get robbed??!?! at least dlh sturm makes sense, dlh hopkins couldn't have happened without oscar winning.
    taylor chavez was messed up and sad, I think nhe was OK to go for 3 secs its not like hed have any worse brain damage if he didnt have it already, but he didnt respond to steele cause of lou duvas stupid fat ass jumping on the ring ropes trying to athletic old as he is.
    chavez whitaker also sucked for pernell, julio got lucky twice.
    hopkins taylor pissed me off, taylor just throwing looping haymakers all blocked by bhop, getting the crowd exited over nothing, with hopkins landing the more subtle, yet effective shots but all anybody cares about is the nonlanding power punches.
    though pryor owned arguello in the rematch, on his offcycle, i think he automatically shouldve been DQd in the first.
    jones and park si hun was wrong too, but its been explained, and roy learned the valuable lesson of not letting the fight go to the scorecards when your in another country, fighting the local favorite, showboating in front of the judges in an amateur boxing match.


    Question: Why was Ali Liston contreversial?
