lets debate........
No, you don't have to "take it away from the champ".
Every fighter's obligation begins and ends at winning the fight. Having to dismantle a champion to win a title is a silly myth that has been prepetuated by insular boxing pundits.
If a fighter wins the fight, by 1 round or by 12 rounds, he wins the fight, title and whatever other accolade. That is how it is. That is how boxing is scored. There is nothing in the rules to suggest that you need to destroy a champion to win a title. And any judge who scores in such a way should be banned from ever judging again, in my opinion.
what i meant was he should of finish the fight convincingly leaving no doubt he wins...not giving any chance of losing one round or two just because he feels he has out scored the champ already...it was a mistake for winky having his corner already tell him to go out for the 12 rounds and fight taylor but he didn't listen...so he is at fualt for the draw not the judge not anyone but himself...
Taylor didn't fight the last round either. He had as much to fight for as Winky. If the fight hangs on the last round, it hangs on the last round for both fighters, not just the challenger. Winky just looked gassed to me in the last.
Have one back, mate ;)

Clydey takin out the trash!
Ha. I agree that both guys should have to fight hard in the last round. The onus is not on the challenger. I hate that 'you have to TAKE the title' nonsense. I think Jim Watt mightv'e started it. ::**
