JCC- Ruben Castillo, Roger Mayweather x2, Rocky Lockridge, Juan Laporte, Edwin Rosario, Rafael Limon, Jose Luis Ramirez, Meldrick Taylor, Greg Haugen, Hector Camacho, Benvenuti- Olympic Gold, Gaspar Ortega Pep- Joey Archer, Chalky Wright Olivares- Chucho Castillo, Lionel Rose, Takao Sakurai, Salvatore Burruni Zarate- Alfonso Zamora, Rodolfo Martínez, Alberto Dávila Pascual Perez- Yoshio Shirai, Dai Dower, Jones Jr.- Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Mike McCallum, Thulani Malinga, Jorge Castro, Virgil Hill, Antonio Tarver, John Ruiz Jofre- Jose Medel, James Toney- Michael Nunn, Mike McCallum, Iran Barkley, Tim Littles So far it looks like Jones Jr and Julio Cesar Chavez.
Technically yes, but I don't go along with that personally. Montell Griffin was done and had no chance to win if he was even getting up. It's a lot like the DQ loss that Terry Norris had or the one that cost Evander Holyfield gold at the Olympics. I also don't count fights that are stopped on cuts like the recent Donaire fight or Lewis vs Klitschko as legitimate wins either. Sometimes I disagree with the call and the way a fight was reffed. The Agbeko vs Mares fiasco was ridiculous. So was the Mayweather vs Ortiz match. Duran vs Buchanan I actually don't hold too much against Duran since he was dominating and had already done enough to win. Then there are cases where the judges get it all wrong like Mayweather vs Castillo I, Pacquiao vs Bradley I, Chavez Jr vs Vera I, etc.
No, the reality was he was disqualified, nothing technical about that. What are you suggesting is a technicality, and a pretty weak one at that, from the point of view of the rules of the sport.
