    I hate the word draw for boxing, that's why I put tie in parentheses it is the correct word.

    Anyways there aren't too many so I thought hey how about a list of champions with ties on their records, (some of whom were against another champion and so many times we'll have two boxers listed here for a single fight!

    Off the top of my head;
    Wilfredo Gomez
    Wilfred Benitez
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Pernell Whitaker
    Miguel Angel Gonzalez
    Lennox Lewis
    Evander Holyfield
    John Ruiz
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Thomas Hearns
    Lupe Madera
    Katsuo Tokashiki
    Mike Weaver
    Michael Dokes
    Jeff Fenech
    Azumah Nelson
    Jack Johnson

    Who else?

    Basically every fighter has a draw on there record. The better question is fighters who don’t have draws on there record.

    Well, I think you may actually be wrong!

    It would be quite a task to examine the records of ALL world champions - so I decided to look just at the middleweight champs. Here BoxRec lists 114 men, who they recognize as champions during the gloved era. Of these, 76 (or 2/3) have at least one draw on their record.

    Is Fenech v Nelson still an official draw? Bizarre if so as Fenech was recently awarded the belt!

    Soon as I saw this post I thought of Carlos Monzon specifically and Argentine boxers in general. Around the 50’s and 60’s they had a lot of draws. I wonder if that was a condition in the scoring or something. Like either a clear winner or a draw would be declared. A bit like No-Decision. I know fighters of that era fought a lot but even more recent Argentine boxers have also lot of draws on their record.
