    I think if you can clear out your division and beat 1 hof. But the more HOF'ers you beat the better your chances are

    Hagler comes to mind. I don't think Lewis was given any gimmie fights, (Vitali's win was no gimmie he beat the **** out of the guys until he couldn't continue). If anything Lewis was completely robbed with the Holyfield draw decision.

    I can't think of any gimmie fights Frazier was given, nor Dempsey, nor Marciano, nor Liston, nor Louis.

    Ali had his Cooper fight where Cus cut his glove and put some kind of substance on it causing Cooper to lose on cuts.

    But no....Tyson never had to cheat to win. Never got a gift on the cards either.

    Ppl make a case that Ruddock won 5 rds of their second fight. But I wholly disagree. Don't think I gave Ruddock a rd. :think

    Nice call Hagler!

    Gene Tunney, I don't buy the long count myth.

    Sugar Ray Robinson?

    Carlos Monzon would be the best example that comes to my mind.

    Hagler.

    All the really close/controverisal decisions went against him.
