    Just let me clarify what I mean first, I want to know what is the most important fight in history that ended with a DESERVED draw, so that excludes
    Pernell Whitaker vs. Julio Cesar Chavez and Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield because I think we can all be agreed that they weren't fair results.

    So which was the biggest fight that ended in a draw, where it was so close no winner could possibly be decided by anyone who watched the fight?

    I'd say james corbet vs peter jackson.

    Gans v walcott is up there as well.

    Thats true it was a terribly close fight. Gets more remembered as being a disappointing first defense for Jermaine


    Edit : Well technically first defense was Hopkins II

    That's a good shout from what I've read though Jackson did seem to have the edge as the fight progressed, have you heard similar?

    And unfortunately none of us can really comment as no one here will have seen the fight.
