    ie froch vs groves

    groves was hyped up after first fight but obviously earned alot more in rematch any other fights u can think of that r same (prob fights where one fighter has clearly deserved win and robbed)
    maybe paul smith v abraham smith got alot credit put him on map

    also got me thinking if say quigg or frampton fought rigondeux and lost but put in good performance would it further there career

    chisora vs klit

    Herrera vs Garcia , vera vs chavez jr, macklin vs felix, though they were more robberies

    only seen highlights, but the guy rigo just fought may end up coming out of it with a enhanced rep, and rigos p4p rating dented, havn't watched full fight to

    In Britain Magri/Laciar rightly sticks out a mile.

    In a more recent vintage Eubank seemed to get more out of losing to Calzaghe and Thompson (twice), than he did for many of his wins.

    Vitali against Lewis. People act like Vitali got somehow screwed over in that fight when he got stopped.

    How, his face was a mess all caused by punches? Lewis doesn't get enough credit for that fight, he didn't know how good Vitali was going to be. Vitali didn't lose a fight after that and the Byrd lose was a freak injury

    Vitali Lewis fight had to be stopped for his own good.


    He might have lost an eye.

    OK mate. At the end of the day, Klitchsko landed his best on Lewis and Lennox took it. Lewis got his shots away and busted Vitali up. His face was a mess, the fight was rightly stopped and Lewis awarded the victory. If you watch the fight back Lewis was actually stronger in the 6th than any other round. I'm not even a Lewis fan, but I respect him. He definitely underestimated Vitali but he was still good enough to come through.
