    Taylor Chavez is one of the most popular controversial fights ever.

    Alot of more controversial fights go unheard of all the time

    Ali-Liston of course. Maybe by a mile.

    You also have LaMotta-Fox (the only fight to have been found a fix under oath) and Fitzsimmons-Sharkey (fixed by no less a person than Wyatt Earp!).

    Henry Cooper vs Cassius Clay when Clay has his ass handed to him by Henry's Hammer and Angelo Dundee slashed his glove open to buy time.....so so dodgy

    Lewis v Holyfield. A scandalous decision of epic proportions.

    pacquiao marquez I: one judge only marking round 1 as 10-7 rather than 10-6, costing pacquiao the win.

    barrera juarez I: one judge decides after it's been called a draw that they've not added their card correctly.

    both highly controversial.

    Ali demolished him in the next round and made him look stupid in the return bout. Ali is a true champion.

    I think Chavez vs Taylor I was very controversial.

    Leonard vs Hagler wasn't.

    Lesser scale: Forbes vs D. Hopkins.

    Chavez-Taylor I Bad stopage but there is no way Richard Steel could have known exactly how much time was left.
    Whitaker-Chavez Whitaker was clearly the better man in this fight.
    Hagler-Leonard I scored it 115-113 for Leonard.

    Sturm-De La Hoya was so bad that fight fans and (US experts) are rarely mentioning it. :)
