    Fury vs Wilder, GGG vs Canelo 1 and 2. I've been disappointed at how the sport is falling deeply into corruption.

    Well if it's any consolation, it's always been there.

    It has but it seems at the most blatant I can remember in recent years.

    Good list. The Hitman definitely deserved the win in the second fight.

    Regarding Quartey, that was a super close fight that I thought Ike won as well but I can understand how some had it for the Golden Boy. I will say Ike got completely screwed against Vernon Forest. He definitely beat Vernon that night which would have made him a two division world champion.

    I don't think it is corruption. It almost seems like the sport works. Even in big fights they get draws, which disappoint people but how it is what it is.

    1.Holmes vs Spinks 2 Affected his legacy and ppl actually think Holmes legitamatly lost. Not a big Holmes fan but hate when a dominate champion gets robbed . :nonono


    2. A modern one would be Wilder vs Fury....Would have liked to see the real guy holding up the division get his belt taken away, he's on borrowed time anyway! :firedevil:



    And my most important one.....

    3.Holyfield vs Lewis.....Lost 10 G's when I had Lewis UD. :cursing:

    Holmes clearly lost the first fight. Wasn't much question about that one.

    Just clarifying which one we're talking about. Agreed.
