But if you can knock out your opponents, you will never have problems with the judges... right there, a small and easy answer to that problem." ----------- Plain and simple, GGG can do that. Not a problem for Canelo because he always win on the cards.
Easier said than done, even for GGG. Canelo is world class, and trying to force a KO on a really great opponent could end up in getting KO'd instead. That said, Golovkin can do it if anybody can.
What Vitali said is true but that's not the purpose of the sport of boxing, for nowadays anyway. Or else we will be back to the days of fight till the last man standing. A fighter should be able to go in the ring and be comfortable if it goes to the cards, to receive a fair ruling. Because of the subjective nature of the scoring system, some descrepancies are expected. Any deviation around 4 points is acceptable. Anything above that should be scrutinise.
I disagree with your "swing point" opinion. Sometimes there is no or little option for swing points, like in the Matthysse vs Alexander fight for instance. Alexander edged the first couple of rounds before he got found out and got a brutal ass whooping, getting dropped along the way and having to hold on for dear life to make it to the final bell. Possible scorecards... either 95-94 or 96-93 Matthysse, despite it being extremely onesided in the second half of the fight. Clearly close on the cards but not in reality, because razor close rounds count the same as one in which a guy gets spanked. Everyone scored it close, but with Matty winning the last 5 rounds clearly including a KD, there was no way you could give it to Devon. But going with your 4 point deviation, the clear robbery wasn't a robbery at all. The fight itself decides how much deviation is possible. Some are extremely hard to score, and some extremely easy. Some you can have as much as 6 swing rounds, some maybe only a single one or even none at all.
Wrong. Not allowing promoters to decide who will be the officials and judges for the fights, eliminates bad judges.
