what do you think is the most controversial fight and why whats the most controversial and strangest moments in boxing most controversial people in boxing and why sorry if this has been posted before
Joe Gan's against Terry McGovern would be on the list, while its in the record books as a ko win for Terry some of the punches which Joe went down from clearly hit air, unless the first right hand Terry landed really did have Joe out on his feet the fight is still big time controversial. Nat Fleisher who was a big McGovern fan and considered him the greatest bantam of all time but still said of the fight, "Terry was good but he wasn't that good."
Probably in terms of controversial fights one of the top ones has To be ali v liston 2. The phantom knock out has probably been discussed more times than any other first round ko ever,!over fifty years later and people still split over what actually happened. In terms of historical controversy that s right up there with Kennedy S assassination!
Strangest moment: Not sure, but the heavyweight division in the 90s had a lot of them. Bowe-Tillery 1, fanman in Bowe-Holyfield 2, the bite in Holyfield-Tyson 2 (there were also bites in Hide-Bentt and Golota-Pouha), the riot in Bowe-Golota 1, McCall's breakdown in the 2nd Lewis fight Most evenly debated controversy: Leonard-Hagler decision Most ridiculous controversy (robbery): Coggi-Gonzalez 1 This content is protected
