Most popular with judges/immune to losing decisions: Saúl Álvarez, Danny García, or Jessie Vargas?

Thurman almost got KO'd by Collazo, but was forced to let Thurman win.
Broner gets away with dirty fighting, and was being groomed to be the next Floyd, but it didn't work out.

I forgot to mention, Miguel Cotto.
Cotto cheated his way against Zab Judah, Ricardo Torres, with intentional low blows.
Corley also almost KO'd Cotto, but reluctantly pulled back.

But Floyd takes the cake, for getting the best decisions.
Floyd lost to Castillo in the 1st fight but the judges gave it to Floyd.
Floyd had fixed fights against Canelo, DelaHoya.

 

That's what I'm saying,he always gets the benefit of the doubt(and yes even getting a draw against Golovkin represents getting the benefit of the doubt).
I can accept this hapening but that does not mean its right.
And him being undefeated would mean he would have had to get at least a draw vs Mayweather which would have been up for discussion for one of the worst decisions in history.They decided they couldnt go THAT far.

 

My apologies for hijacking the thread.

Of the three fighters you mentioned, I think Canelo is the obvious choice based on his popularity and potential as a cash cow.

As a part time PBC fighter, I believe Garcia’s popularity has peaked. There’s no need to protect his record anymore.

Jessie Vargas is a laughable case. To put him in perspective, think about this. In the year 2018, the long retired Fernando Vargas is more popular/marketable than Jessie.

 

That Herrera gift pissed me off the most, here comes the guy that was pretty much brought in to lose and look good against and ends up pretty much schooling the guy in his "home town" only to have it taken away from him in such a shameless manner. I think even the PR fans were booing Garcia on that one.

 

And what annoyed me as well is Garcia's attitude after robbing other guys, he acts so natural about it as if there's no doubt he won the fight. Man I didn't like Garcia AT ALL. So glad this guy lost his relevancy.

 

You nailed Vargas’s problem on the head. If you’re a top shelf talent and top flight fighter, you should almost NEVER fight down to your level of competition.

 

Void was immune to losing a decision, even when he deserved to lose, such as Castillo, Oscar.....................he even got credit for fighting a non-boxer, Conor, who's record was 0-0-0!

SOB Ward, it's impossible for him to lose a fight no matter what! He got knocked down, staggered by a jab and the damned criminals still gave a decision so SOB!

Oscar will never allow the judges to vote against El Pollo.................watch and see, the rematch will have three judges, Byrd, Byrd and Byrd, and Toney Weeks as the referee so El Pollo can land low blows, then stop the fight after one lands, or whatever Oscar wants.............

 

Danny Garcia is the only one I think judges have it for. Herrera and Peterson schooled and beat up his ass. Lara beat Canelo, but other than that and the inconsequential Floyd draw score his disputed fights were all close calls that he deservedly nicked. I recall thinking it was fine that Vargas similarly got the win in probably all of his close ones, and IB in his breakdown didn't actually think he was robbed of a single win.

 

I think Danny 'gift' Garcia just edges Alvarez in this. Danny got clearly beaten twice and got away with a win in both cases, but somehow the judges didn't extend that coursety against Thurman, which was relatively close, and people seem to forget about the Matthysse fight.
Without the borderline KD, turning out to be a 3 point swing, he would have lost that fight on 2 of the judges' scorecards.

Alvarez had a couple of close ones that went his way, and of course that draw.
But he never got a win after being spanked.
There clearly is something going on though with one or two far too wide to downright ridiculous scorecards in his favor in 6 of his last 10 fights alone.
So maybe he's more invincible as Danny but never needed it as badly.

Now take a look at contender turned gatekeeper Fernando Guerrero. That's at a lower level, but he must have a whole closet full of compromising pictures on judges going by the number of gifts he received. You just can't beat that guy on the cards without bouncing him off the canvas Quillin/Lemieux style. Otherwise they somehow score it in his favor.
