Controversial boxing opinions....

Julio Cesar Chavez is over ratted at 140 and 147.

 

Nobody says Chavez is any good @ 147.

Miguel Espino Wins In Fight With Sergio Mora. This would be the first for WBC. 2 from the show the Contender's Duking It Out For Rankings!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Size doesnt equal skill, look at what 6'1 230 Chagaev did to Valuev whos 320 7ft plus. Every height and weight has its advatages and disadvantages, Wasnt Wlad beat by Brewster who was 6'1 230?

 

Your right size alone is nothing without the ability to use it. Lewis and W.Klitschko do. Also I scored the fight for Valuev allthough it could have gone either way.

 

Jermain Taylor beat Winky Wright.

 

Had to dig up this thread.

Here's some controversy. I think Ricky Hatton beats Miguel Cotto at 140lbs AND at 147lbs

BUT....

like someone else here has said, I think Hatton is on the slide, and has been sicne BEFORE the Kostya Tszyu fight. I think his peak was probably Mike Stewart or Ray Oliveira where he just looked incredible. Spent too much time fighting bums under Frank Warren, but at least he had the guts to go to the states and face the best unlike Joe Calzaghe....

 

Thought of another one. Roy Jones legitamataly won the first fight with Tarver.

 

That really isn't unpopular or controversial at all.

Most people agree that Jones fairly won that bout.

Here was a poll on that incredibly exaggerated "controversial" decision.

Good list.
I'm on the fence regarding Vitali-Lennox, and I think I disagree with you about Don King.

However, as far as the rest of it goes... I'm in complete agreement.

Those opinions aren't all that controversial. Although, I guess people will turn almost anything into controversy if they feel strong enough about it.

 

At the time loadsa ppl were kicking up a fuss aboout it.

 

Those who cried "robbery" were probably the illegitimate love children of Eugenia Williams and Ken Morita.

Tarver spent too many rounds staring at Roy, waiting to counter, leary of the bodywork, and lost the fight because of it.

 

Ummm... no.
