    It was bigger than slim. One major publication had Leonard ahead by miles.

    And I had it 115/113 to Lewis, thus it is in 4 round swing, so not an out and out robbery, under my criteria.

    The thing is, you would've been pushing it to give that many rounds to Holyfield, I doubt you could find anymore to give to him at all.

    I don't know why you bother with Bill, he's a tool. We had a thread on here about Holmes-Spinks I and the votes were something like 22-1. The one of course was Little Larry. :good

    I'll throw 3 ten rounders at you that just drove me crazy. Parker-Hamsho I. I had it 7-3 Parker, the same as one of the judges. The other two scored it for Hamsho. Ocasio-Qawi-it's been awhile but I think I gave every round to Qawi only for it to be scored for Ocasio. And finally, R. Mayweather-Tony Baltazar, again I gave just about every round to Mayweather. These fights constitute robbery to me when it's one-sided for one particular fighter.

    We didn't have a poll, and the opinions were more there were 2 Spinks guys for every one of Holmes.

    3 no, 2 yes. 3 IMO was a robbery, but not 2. IMO Ali won 2.

    Anyone scoring the first fight for Holmes needs to give up scoring, same with the second for Spinks. Both clear cut.

    I know, I know: What is an oxymoron?

    What is that? This is a boxing forum, not a game of Jeopardy. Ohh.. I finally thought I was good at something.;)
