    a win that the consensus or a majority deem "controversial" that some thought the other fighter should of won the fight

    I can't think of any, are all his wins clean?

    Dubois has controversy attached to it, but I don't think anyone believes Dubois deserved the victory.

    Fury 2 is not "controversial" lol, the consensus seems to be Usyk 115-113 at the very least, maybe even a draw but no where near a Fury win

    A draw is still controversial. There are plenty of people who claim they think “The fight was closer then the scorecards” which basically means they think it should have gone to Fury without rocking the boat.

    Look at the corners faces after the fight and tell me which camp looked did think they won and which camp did think they lost.

    Well there is still quite alot of people that think the Dubois fight has some controversy to it I have to admit I thought the same at the time. But now reflecting on it the punch was low according to the rules and that's that.

    As for Usyk's competitive decisions he's had 5 all in all Chisora, Briedis Fury 1 & 2, Joshua 2.

    Chisora vs Usyk I've never seen anyone think the Chisora fight was controversial although it was competitive the average scorecard you will see is 8-4 for Usyk.

    Usyk vs Joshua 2 again despite one judge having it quite close most feel it was a competitive but very win for Usyk the average scorecard will be again 8-4/9-3.

    Fury vs Usyk 1 another competitive but clear win for Usyk there is a very small minority that have Fury winning but that's mostly biased Fury fans. The average scorecard would be 7-5/8-4 for Usyk with a 2 point round.

    Fury vs Usyk 2 very similar to the 1st fight Usyk took over in the 2nd half of the fight and win a competitive but clear decision again. I would say the average scorecard is again 7-5/8-4.

    Briedis vs Usyk is the only fight I think which has a legitimate case for a draw but most rightly feel that Usyk edged Briedis in a close fight.

    Overall Usyk has had competitive fights but I think he's won them all quite clearly apart from Briedis which was pretty close with Briedis having a case for a draw. But I don't think Briedis has a case for a win though and I think the vast majority believe Usyk deserved to win a close fight.

    His fight against Briedis was extremely close, I had it a draw. Can't say it was that controversial though.

    Breidis only one close enough to be controversial IMO. But had that 115-113 / 116-112 Usyk

    Just DDD with the suspect low blow but I still say he dominated DDD. That jab put him out.

    Usyk is the best HW we have had the opportunity to witness in over a decade

    Breidis the closest one.

    Fury 2 was won 8-4

    Dubois was KOd by a jab.

    Dubois "I am going to hit him low and see how he handles that."
    * hits him low *
    Referee "Hey that's a low blow"
    Dubois * pikachu face * "I WAS ROBBED"

    There's no controversy here, merely manufactured BS to try and get the guy that actually robbed Lerena another crack at the top.

    Dubois was the most controversial and its not a decision. His decision wins were all close not controversial. Usyk v Fury I would have been controversial if there had been no knockdown I'd reckon.
