    Which iyo were the most outrageous drawn decisions?

    Hearns v leonard 2?
    Lewis v holyfield 1?
    Benn v eubank 2?

    And what would the outcome have been for a third match between Benn v eubank and hearns v leonard?

    My personal opinion is probably like most, Lewis was robbed. Benn should have got the decision. After watching hearns v leonard a few times I actually have it for hearns but by a slim margin. So which in your eyes was the worst decision?

    The Henry Armstrong draw against Ceferino Garcia, which many observers thought Armstrong won, cost Armstrong the MW title, and to be the first boxer to win 4 major weight-class titles (Feather, Lightweight, Welter & MW)

    Nelson vs Fenech . It ruined Fenech's momentum and robbed him of 4th World Title.

    Patterson Quarry was extremely close. Floyd probably deserved the decision but it was close enough not to be a robbery.

    Hi Hook! I tend to agree. You know I'm a Floyd lover (oh, those stupid 'old' California rules scoring!) After giving Quarry a 4-0 after two rounds (you hit Floyd with your best punch and he's always rising) he proceeded to kick Jerry's a s s , and decking him before going 'cigar store Indian' in the last two rounds letting Jerry salvage a "draw"? Their second fight in the tourney was IMO a snooze fest. Jerry decked him twice early but Floyd not hurt in the least. Controlled the fight from then on. With all his HOF skills it always broke my heart that he, so often, remained passive in many fights? I still like to look at Quarry-Quarry-Ellis in Floyd's career and see what should have been a 3-0 trifecta instead of a 0-2-1. I'm off topic and I apologize.

    Of the fights listed, Lewis-Holyfield is hands down the worst.

    The Ellis "win" over Floyd was a real heartbreaker.

    It always irks me when a unification fight ends in a draw, because everything just stays as it was!

    James Degale and Badou Jack might as well not have turned up!

    I'm sure there was a fight years ago that ended in a draw , but they ended up making em go a extra round to sort it. Can't for life of me think who it was.

    Lewis Holyfield I by far of those listed. I think i scored it 9-3 Lewis. The rematch had a much better case of being a draw than this fight.
