Should boxers who are ahead on the scorecard before getting stopped be given a draw?

    Cool username, but pretty much the worst idea I've ever heard on here.

    It would be if I actually believed in it... :good As it happens, I saw one "LEWIS' WIN OVER VITALI DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE HE WAS BEHIND AT THE TIME OF STOPPAGE" post too many and thought I'd put an alternative 'arrangement' to the test.

    I don't think a draw would/should apply if the (Ahead) fighter get's stopped.

    Lennox was at a point where he wanted to retire, so he declined a rematch. Vitali has been actively pursuing a rematch for years... ever since the first fight.

    How about this for a better idea. Scrap the judges completely and remove the round limitation to fights and go back to how it used to be - just keep fighting till someone wins.
