The Hopkins Pascal fight is definitely this week's big talking point. Virtually everybody thinks Hopkins won the fight. How does it compare to other drawn robberies?

Re: Which draw was the biggest robbery?
Whitaker vs Chavez, not only for the lineal WW title but for the mythical title of p4p the best. I had Whitaker winning 10 out of 12 rounds.
On another note the fight was at a catchweight of 145 pounds. But since it's not Pacquiao, it's okay for others to fight at catchweights.

Funeka/Guzman, I was well pissed off at the time. Funeka put his all into that.

Whitaker-Chavez for me, I re-watched it a few weeks ago and scored it 118-110 Whitaker, and I don't even think many of the rounds were particularly close
11-0 in Saddo Sig Bet.

I'm quite surprised I don't see Pacquiao-Marquez 1 on the poll. Maybe the hobbit forgot to add it.
That's another fight in boxing history that could have either way. But no way in hell that was robbery.

Funeka vs Guzman!
Most recent because that still pisses me off.
Chavez vs Whitaker has got to be all time though.

Re: Which draw was the biggest robbery?
It's really tough to say but I feel it was worse than Lewis Holyfield 1. As you know, I had a feeling at about round 6 it would be draw. This was more because I was watching Hopkins win the fight so easily that the best the judges could do for Pascal was give a draw. I remember a lot of rounds in the Lewis Holyfield fight that could be scored either way based on interpretation. In this fight, almost every round bar 10 and 12 was very easy to score and those two were a debate between 10-10 or 10-9 to Hopkins. As a result I scored it 112-114 Hopkins

Did they do catchweight fights all the time, or at least most, like Pacquiao?On another note the fight was at a catchweight of 145 pounds. But since it's not Pacquiao, it's okay for others to fight at catchweights.

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.MannyDid they do catchweight fights all the time, or at least most, like Pacquiao?On another note the fight was at a catchweight of 145 pounds.

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.

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.
