    Any of the Marquez losses to Pac they were pretty close

    Floyd over JC Castillo. I didn't see what all the fuss was about...
    I remember a punch Floyd landed on JC that completely spun him 180 degrees..
    JC brought the pressure but it wasn't no thang for Floyd

    I agree about Lewis Holy 1 and the Chavez Whitaker fights

    Agree with this. It could have been given either way it was tough on whoever lost, but the way the media and Harry Carpenter went on you would think someone had shot Bambi!

    I've still got an old notepad somewhere that my dad used to score that fight and he scored it for Bugner.
    Cooper, the queen mother of British boxing didn't speak to referee Harry Gibbs for 30 years after the fight.

    Hahahaha nice one.
    Harry Carpenter was a poor imitation of ITV's Reg Gutteridge

    I always thought Holmes had nothing to moan about in fight one, but fight two was a poor decision. Holmes cried wolf that one time too many.

    Probably not a true robbery but I've heard plenty say that Tua beat Ibeabuchi but I've never thought that. I've always thought Ike earned and fully deserved his win that night. He simply outworked Tua, who although throwing a shedload of shots himself looked passive in comparison to a very fired up Ike.

    A good fight all the same.
