    When J.Cat schooled the undisputed undefeated 140lb Champion and was shamelessly robbed by 2 judges. The fact he has never had a title shot since or even a top 10 ranked opponent is just disgraceful.

    There were questions around Taylor being drained. I don’t believe that was prime Taylor

    Youre objectively right if one ignores the lame attempt at sarcasm

    So Spence was a shell of himself making 147 again...but Crawford wasnt a shell of himself making 135 again...

    Not to mention Gamboa was the WBA interim champ after he beat an undefeated Perez.

    Was a good fight, sorry that you didnt/dont like the winner

    Margarito cheated so I guess thats fair

    Hagler v Hearns springs to mind as a classic example for me.

    I saw it 'slightly' in Haglers favour prior to the fight but I wouldn't have bet my house on it.

    I believe Arguello was done by that time, and the fight was at 140. Arguello was best between 126-135.
