    Alexis Arguello's decision win over Jose Luis Ramirez was questionable and thought it could have been a draw.
    Ricardo Lopez should have had an L against Rosendo Alvarez in their first fight.
    Jose Napoles was clearly gifted a W in the first fight against Armando Muniz.
    Pacquiao was also lucky that he didn't get a draw or a SD loss against JMM in their third fight.

    Agreed. And so did Ali. He looked like a deflated balloon after the fight and said he should have lost. Before the fight he announced he would KO Norton and in the first few rounds he really did try to, sitting down on his shots and throwing heavy right hands. He looked awkward and Norton smothered his shots or rolled with them because that wasn't Ali.

    Ali tried to get under Norton's skim covering up and show boating but all he did was allow Norton to win rounds on aggression and punches landed.

    The ultimate insult was Norton using the rope a dope and Ali being unable to do anything against him.

    Then Ali desperately tried to stick and move like the old days but the speed and sharpness weren't half what they used to be.

    The boxing world was not ready to let Ali go and gave him a gift however.

    Felix Trinidad against Oscar. I scored it a draw but most people thought Oscar won.

    I love Wilfrdo Gomez but there's no way he beat Rocky Lockridge. That's my go-to bad decision fight.

    Larry Holmes vs Maurice Harris I had a draw.

    Joe Frazier vs Jumbo Cummings, I had Cummings clearly winning, Joe got a gift in a draw that night.
