I heard this said since I started following boxing and I still hear it to this day in person, on forums, social media, Youtube comments, ect.

For those that subscribe to this theory, what does it mean to you?

Should a challenger have to stop a champion to get his title?

Should a challenger have to completely dominate a champion to get his title?

Does it mean that close rounds automatically go to the champ?

If a challenger wants to win a round, by how big of a margin should he win the round?

I'd also like to know the origin of this if anyone knows.

Has this ever been introduced or acknowledged by any sanctioning body?

How did this saying come about and why is it still perpetuated?
