    calzaghe hopkins
    the two taylor decisions hurt too but I can live with them because it was the passing of the torch and we've seen veteran champions ousted in favour of young stars many times in the sport but the calzaghe fight the judges had to choose between ineffective aggression and clean effective punching and they chose wrong and went against the true essence of boxing which is to inflict damage to the opponent.

    3 competent judges for the Whitaker/Chavez fight.

    Foreman/Holyfield. Most devestating result that I've personally had for a favorite fighter. I was a teenager and Foreman was both mine and my dad's hero. To see him lose was brutal.

    I'd change the result of "The Thilla in Manilla" to a win for Frazier. It just kind of bothers me that Ali was such an ass towards Frazier and yet still has that one win over him in their trilogy. Joe deserved better.

    Castillo vs Mayweather I - I feel that Floyd became obsessed with keeping his 0 during the latter part of his career, a loss before he became a household name may have led to him taking more chances during the latter part of his career.

    Tyson vs Lewis, Iron Mike would've been the only to be HW champ in 3 different decades.

    I would change Tito vs B-Hop and Winky and Cotto vs Margo... Imagine that... we would have seen Cotto vs DLH and Cotto ending that fight in a brutal fashion and then comes Floyd!!!

    Also Miranda vs Pavlik. I love Pavlik but I felt bad for Miranda in this one. I know how he came up from the ground up and be somebody after being a nobody.

    LAst but not least, Evander over Ruiz... Jesse, do I hate Ruiz guts!!!

    at this moment in time it is definitely Cotto-Margarito! but if they end up having a re-match and Cotto wins, then the loss could in fact improve his legacy (avenging your only defeat, plus the loaded gloves accusations)
