And I go with Agapito Sanchez-Manny Pacquiao. Should of been a TKO in favor of Sanchez after Pacquiao quit. Martinez-Cintron out of the ones listed
Side-note: Just noticed the fool left out Martinez-Cintron

Had to go with my immediate thought when I saw the title; Lewis-Holyfield I. Eugenia Williams actually scored this fight for Holyfield, including a round in which Lewis kept Holyfield pinned on the ropes and Holy landed maybe 3 or 4 punches. Oddly, the second fight, a Lewis UD, was much closer, IMHO.
In recent history, John-Juarez I was a head scratcher, as many Juarez decisions have been.
I know I have a very unpopular opinion here but I don’t think you can call robberies fights like Pascal - Hopkins , it was a much more close fight than Dorin – Spadafora for example … Just to mention another bad draw decision.
You also forgot SRL Vs Hearns 2.

I really think Whitaker's performance against Chavez was one of the best of his career, Chavez had no idea how to handle him. The result was a travesty of boxing justice, no rematch was even a greater travesty.
Did they do catchweight fights all the time, or at least most, like Pacquiao? :rolleyes:Quote:

I didn't know Hopkins had 3 catchweight fights.
Good info there Bilbo.
And Sugar Ray Leonard was the catchweight king of his era with 3.Quote:

To be fair to Hopkins though, in all 3 occasions he was the guy having to cut down in weight to come to a fair CW.Quote:

I also thought that the Calzaghe fight had Warren put in a catchweight limit of like 173?
I think it's the guy who asks for the catchweight who should become the 'catchweight king'.
Anyway back to your original point, it's got to be Whitaker-Chavez, I've never had that closer than 10-2 when scoring it. It was a clinic.
And can you count how many times they have asked for a catchweight, thank you;)Quote:

More often than not the bigger guys wins though. It's actually quite rare for the smaller guy to win a catchweight fight, and when they do they were nearly always the big pre fight favourite in the first place. The rampant weight draining from catchweight fights that captures the imaginations of the Saddo critics has very rarely been witnessed in the ring.
I'm going with Manny and his goons.Quote:

It wasn't just twice, not even in the last year it was twice.
HATE to turn this into a Manny thread but everyone just seems to love arguing the same facts, they just keep some under wraps.
