    I've seen a lot of 12th round match decisions which are obviously opposite from what you expect the result would end. Probably because some have influence to protect their fighter to look good and go on or record unscathed.

    IMO for me it's JT. I doubted the Hopkins and Spinks decisions.

    Who else do you know?

    Well he's had one controversial decision go his way and the other is an alleged controversial decision.

    That's a long way from guys like Ottke, J.C Chavez, Ali, etc..

    DLH had 3 controversial fights go his way but 2 went against him.

    Ali and Chavez had none go against them. Neither did Sven.

    I think you misunderstood what I said.

    De La Hoya had 3 controversial decisions go his way, but 2 (Tito, Mosley II) went AGAINST him.

    Chavez had a few controversies or debatable decisions go his way (LaPorte, Whitaker, Taylor I, Randall I, Gonzalez), but none went AGAINST him.

    So I would pick someone like Chavez or Ottke on an "untouchable list" before De La Hoya since they always got the benefit of the doubt, rather than De La Hoya who got it the majority of the time, but not always.

    Ottke, without doubt. he got about half-a-dozen decisions, and did nothing that was impressive that could create doubt - I mean like have the power to shake an opponent or handspeend to be flash, so he could just kinda nick rounds.

    I always wanted Calzaghe to fight him as he woulda stopped him.

    Ottke, not least because according to German rules it was illegal to hit him.

    Ottke's controversial fights were against Brewer (1st fight),Reid (that one over the top) and to some extend Larsen...

    One thing I want to point out: Ottke beat Glen Johnson without a doubt - no controversy in here!
