Clay got the benefit of some gift decisions, shouldnt Holmes have gotten the W against Spinks?

    It wouldnt have even been that big of a 'gift' a lot of people thought he earned the win....
    Me personally I thought it was a close fight, I had no issue with the decision, but I definitely think the judges were out to protect Marcianos record.

    As much as I like Holmes, he clearly lost 8 rounds in the 1st fight (maybe 9). The rematch was different, Holmes deserved the win but was robbed

    I see a highway robbery if Holmes somehow got the decision against spinks in the first fight, he was moving I. a way Holmes has never seen before, he was taking away his jab by putting his head in range them moving off when Holmes threw, he kept side stepping and moving in fast getting off his combinations then getting away and Holmes didn’t have an answer because he was usually the one on the backfoot

    This. Holmes lost the first fight against Spinks fair and square.

    See, by calling him "Clay," he's inviting us to be interested in his cultural-political agenda, and ask him all about it, y'see. Then we get to more about him than any of us would otherwise have bothered to wonder.

    Oakland Billy Smith had issues with calling him Ali. He got permabanned.

    Mods could run an I.p. trace.

    Either way, anyone arriving as a new member with this kind of issues is not gonna be here long anyway.

    no one should get a gift decision. Add up the points and declare the rightful winner

    Clay probably deserved the win against Jones, but it was close.

    Gallo knows about lower weights. On that basis alone, I can tell you right away that it isn't Oakland.
