    I actually thought Quartey-DLH was one of the easier ones of DLH's controversial fights to score.

    DLH-Mosley 2 and especially Whitaker-DLH, now those were a pain to score.

    Hagler-Leonard... I have it a Draw each time I score it, but I know it's better to pick a winner.

    Carlos de Leon vs Johnny Nelson.

    Hard to score a bout where no punches are landed.

    Muhammad Ali vs. Alfredo Evangilista

    How the hell did the judges stay awake through that.

    I'm sure they missed everything from the 4th round on.....

    Lucky *******s

    Holmes-Witherspoon was a ***** to judge; anytime I actually score something a draw I have the feeling I was riding the fence too much, or being swayed by some outside opinion or something. I watched again, and again scored it a draw, which continues to annoy the **** out of me.

    Ralph Dupas vs the guys name espaces me, I think they had fought 3 times previously. Its a very good technical and tactical encounter also but so so hard to score. You could genuinly score it 100-100 and not be called a **** judge.

    It took me ages to come up with a final scorecard for the best fight I ever saw, Morales v Barrera 1.... so much back & forth action, so many close rounds, 2 evenly matched prime ATG fighters.

    There are many fights that are difficult to score, Leonard v Hagler being one of them but I had to watch Morales v Barrera 1 more than any fight ever to get a set scorecard.

    JM Marquez vs MA Barrera is the one that stands out for me. So many rounds that awarding them to one guy just seems so arbitrary and meaningless, it was ludicrously close.

    I would Add Winky vs Taylor to that list. Though some thought Winky won it and I thought so there were some very tough rounds to score on both sides and could have went either way so I didn't see the draw as unreasonable I felt Winky should have tried to take the last round more instead of thinking he had the fight won

    never noticed this thread before. all those mentioned are good picks.

    williams/martinez 1 was tricky at times
    duran/barkley (though i had it "clear" for duran, the rounds themselves were very close)
    duran/leonard 1 (same as above)
