Tight losses

gerry peñalosa. all of his losses (6) were close. 3 SD and 3 close UD (hometown decisions). the scorecards in his last loss was terrible, i had it close. pdl won though

 

What are you talking about? I thought Tarver beat Johnson both times. The first one was a close SD loss for Tarver while he CLEARLY outclassed Johnson in the second one. 116-112, 116-112, and 115-113.

 

Ottke, Woods, and lately Dawson:yep
The only fighter to CLEARLY beat him was Hopkins but that was a green Johnson....Now Johnson crushes Hopkins with furious anger:fire

 

For every time DLH got supposedly jobbed there is an equal # of times where he got the most glorious gifts for being the Golden one and making it close. Then there are the out right robberies that should have gone against him but didnt.....every time DLH got ****ed it had more to do with what he wasnt willing to risk or do. I cant say the same for the unfortunate ones who were on the wrongside of one of Hoyas gifts.

 

Marquez hasn't really lost clearly in my opinion.

 

ruiz

 

Max Kellerman?

Hopkins has never been convincingly beaten post becoming Middle champ I guess.

 

whittaker both his first 2 defeats were robbery

 

Its hard to say who has the most but my fav fighter has had career defining pts losses that all in all probably dropped him about 20 places in ATG rankings......

Morales v Barrera II - Morales recieves his 1st loss & on my card he won 8 rds.
Morales v Barrera III - Morales recieves his 2nd loss & on my card he won 6 rds.
Morales v Diaz - Morales is prevented from becoming the 1st Mexican born fighter to win titles in 4 divisions & he won 7 rds on my card.

Ps. I had Morales v Espadas I a draw & Raheem winning clearly over Erik but he`s still hard done by IMO because of the significance of the Barrera & Diaz fights.

 

Glen Johnson

 

That fight was one of the easier DLH controversial decisions to score.

DLH got lucky that night. A grand finish doesn't mean you won, when you spent too many rounds posing and doing nothing.

James Toney is probably at the top among big-name recent fighters with close or controversial decisions.

Reggie Johnson (I though Toney won 115-112)
Mike McCallum 1-2
Dave Tiberi
Montell Griffin 1-2
Sam Peter 1
Danny Batchelder

 

What 6 rounds did DLH clearly win against Quartey??

 

hopkins can make a good argument that he hasn't lost since he fought roy jones in 1993

but it has to sweet pea whitaker, he was robbed soo many time (chavez, DLH...)

 

Graciano Rocchiginai deserves honorable mention:

- Was robbed against Eubank (in his hometown Berlin of all places). Even Eubank's corner kept telling him he was losing.

- Robbed against Maske in their first fight, where the ref helped Maske up after a knockdown

- Robbed against Michalczewski in their first fight, which was ruled a no contest when Graciano was clearly winning.

- Stripped of his rightful title win against Michael Nunn.
