    I think both of those fights were too close to call either one a gift.

    The second Bhop vs JT fight was also extremely close could have gone either way.

    Bull. Hopkins and Wright both beat Taylor - and they would have gotten the nods, too if it wasn't for the power of HBO.:yep

    DLH threw away his excuse in the way he fought in the late rounds. But this fight was pretty much a gift.

    DLH sealed the deal with the 12th round KD.

    Ok that was the weakest link on the list, I won't argue however there was a big demand for a rematch but hattan knows better.

    Well here's how I see it. I'm a Hopkins fan. I wanted badly for Hopkins to win. When the fight went to the cards(in both fights), I was hoping that Hopkins would get the decision. However, I felt that it could go either way. When Lewis fought Holyfield, and the fight went to the cards, I was almost 100% sure Lewis was getting the decision. I was shocked when they called it a draw. To me, this is a gift decision.

    If one guy wins and the other guy gets the decision then thats a robbery.

    If its a close fight and instead of a draw one of the fighters get it, thats a gift.

    Hopkins was the champ in the first fight. Taylor didn't beat him, therefore he shouldn't have gotten the decision.

    This year - DHop-Forbes and Diamond-Huerta. Anything else this year that's been on US TV was merely a controversial decision.

    If one guy gets the decison, how can you say that the other man won? The answer is you can't. However, you can debate the decision. Unless most people agree that the wrong fighter got the decision, then it's not a robbery. Boxings fans are split when it comes to Taylor vs. Nard and Winky. There is no consensus. Therefore, their is no robbery.

    What do you mean you can't.

    Lets say, what if Tito won a decision over Wright wouldn't the people be able to see that Wright beat him?
