    No it isn't and if 3 scorecards were chosen at random from those 146, the overwhelming statistical likelihood is that the fight would have been awarded to GGG.

    It’s most likely that the most common card is the fairest and that the others are simply wrong.

    I’d hope that professional judges at ringside would be more reliable than an assortment of social media divas who drink beer and eat hot dogs in between Tweets while needing no accountability for their scores.

    In this case, they both ended up with draws.

    The mode, median and mean of those 146 scorecards all come up with a GGG win. Don't get so emotional about it.

    That impartial, professional judge that scored it 118-110 to Canelo is reliable? That's how weak your argument has become?

    She was overruled by the other two and it was a draw. That’s the beauty of the three judge system.

    So not only is the sample size of 3 far smaller than 146, you agree one third of that 3 isn't reliable

    That’s probably a smaller percentage than the 146.

    And it would need to be a far bigger % than a 3rd that you'd have to dismiss as unreliable before anything other than a GGG win being the overwhelming most popular outcome, became even a possibility.

    1st fight - 116 for GGG and 9 for Canelo. Your metric = in this very thread you have said - 1) The most common scorecard is the best indicator of the correct score; and 2) The most common score was 116-112 GGG (you did the tally).

    2nd fight -

    - 34 for GGG, 2 for Canelo. Your metric = the joint most common cards, with 15 each, was 115-113 GGG and 114-114.

    By your metric, it was either 2-0 or 1-0-1 GGG in their MW fights.

    Not interested in the scores for the second fight. Anyone scoring that for GGG doesn’t know how to score. That fight was a litmus test for determining who knows how to score properly (clean punching and effective aggression both belonged to one combatant).

    Hearns by decapitation. Mayweather never fought an ATG at their best during his own era, there is no reason for me to believe he could beat an ATG great from previous eras.

    Canelo wasn’t at his best.

    Unless you think that a prime Canelo couldn’t win a round off of Floyd, and that he could barely beat Lara and Trout.

    It’s better than beating a CTE riddled Benitez who fell off a cliff after pity patting with Hearns. It’s also better than getting KTFO by two ATGs.

    As if Benitez didn't just beat Duran a few months before the Hearns fight, and Tommy even broke his hand during the fight as well. Can't take anything away from Hearns for being stopped by Hagler and Leonard either.

    As if Duran didn’t lose to a journeyman immediately after Benitez.
