    I know its more or less impossiblr to narrow down to 1 fight, but if you had to pick your favourite(if it can be called that!!), what would you say is your most difficult fight to judge of all-time??

    My own personal pick is Zarate-Pintor at 122, i think i had it for Zarate, but i actually lost count of my scorin' and got really confused with tryin' to figure out who was doin' better work, then i re-wound it, forgot my round, and just left it!! I'll get round to it again 1 time!!

    Anyway, any fights stick out??

    I don't know which was the hardest ever. Fights where guys land very little, such as Whitaker-De La Hoya and Hopkins-Calzaghe last week were pretty hard to score.

    I think it's a sign that a fight is tough to score when you get such wide variation in scores.

    Pacquiao-Marquez I is another one. From round 3 to about round 7, Marquez controlled it, but the latter rounds were close and tough to score, which is why you'll get quite a variation in scorecards. You'll also get a fairly wide variation in scores in De La Hoya-Mosley II.

    Do you have any that rally annoyed you (like my Zarate-Pintor farce!!!) trying to judge??

    I had Marquez winning the first Pac fight, really wanna see the rematch, i believe it was a very close 1 again?? I personally though Oscar-Mosley 2 was a ridiculous decision, just my opinion though

    I don't know any fights that annoyed me while trying to judge it. It's after the decision was announced when fights annoyed me.

    De La Hoya's fight against Whitaker was a nightmare to judge. Only about two or three rounds were clear for either fighter. Many missed punches from both fighters, especially De La Hoya when he flurried. Very strategic type of affair. And defensively both were good, Whitaker mostly for obvious reasons.

    Any type of debate between Mr. Magoo and Sonny's jab. A close contest everytime.

    Pintor-Zarate really is a nightmare isnt it?!! And Hagler - Leonard, i was always not too bad with Barrera-Morales personally, maybe the first 1 is the most difficult? Still had it for Marco though

    All very close.I still dont know who won the Mab EM fight,I gave the Hagler Leonard fight to Ray,just,Pintor v Zarate,just terrific !I thought Calzaghe just won his fight,but again no robbery either way,actually I thought Hopkins would get it in the States.
