Taylor demolish Chavez? The fight was painfully close (literally and figuratively for Meldrick) going into the 12th. I think you forget even if the fight had somehow gone the distance, Taylor would of only won by Split decision...

If the last round was scored 10/8 to Chavez, the fight would of been scored...

115-112(Taylor) 115-112 (Chavez) 116-111 (Taylor)
Sure! It was a Oscar De La Hoya type scorecard, I am sure you agreed with one of the judges who scored the Oscar-Quartey fight 116-112 in favor of Oscar, or maybe the 114-114 in the Chavez-Whitaker fight, or better yet the 114-114 in the Lewis-Holyfield fight, I don't care about the bogus Don King scorecards. What did you score the fight?
For the examples you gave, I had De la Hoya winning the Quartey fight by a couple of rounds, Whitaker up by four and Lewis winning just.

I have no problem with a de la Hoya's win over Quartey, I had no problem with the Lewis/Holyfield draw... IMO far too many, got far too excited about far too little, you want be serious about sorting out corruption go and watch Everett/Escalera, that is an out and out robbery...

But back to the point, I had Taylor up 7/4 going into the final round... it was a close fight and on your own admission Chavez was closing in on Taylor late.
