    My 3; 1 & 2 are clear for me but after that it becomes murky, I have a number of candidates for number 3.

    1. Norton-Ali 3; not for the reasons given above, but because I thought it was a really poor decision & has robbed Norton of his just due as both lineal heavyweight champion and because Norton 2-1 up against Ali sounds fairer and more just than Ali 2-1 up over Norton. I don't feel that Ali ever really got to grips with Norton; I feel that 2-1 to Norton would be a fair reflection of their series.

    2. Hagler - Leonard; I just sincerely feel Hagler deserved the decision and that Hugh McIlvanny's famous article (which I remember reading at the time) absolutely nailed the subject.

    3. I've gone for Eubank - Watson 1; a shocking decision for me with the tragic outcome of the rematch. I've always felt that Watson may have been less gung-ho in the rematch if he hadn't felt the sense of injustice he clearly felt as a result of the questionable decision in bout #1.
