    For instance

    In my own mind Adrien Broners record is 25-1-1.
    Tyson Fury is 20-1-0
    Calzaghe is 46-0-1 (Robin Reid got the draw)

    I almost cringe when they mention these 2 in the same sentence as the word undefeated.



    So when I fighter gets a bum decision do you class it as a loss or just accepted it and consider it a legit win?
    I only do that with fights that were clear robberies. Which is why I consider Juan Manuel Marquez to really be 60-2. Instead of the disgusting 55-6-1

    Yeah, I have him 2-2 with Pacquiao.

    Glad you answered like that because most seems to have misses the point and been sketchy with their answers.

    I don't think 2-2 is unfair.

    The draw I think was unfair to Pacquiao. (When you consider that the 113-113 judge scored the first round 10-7 by accident, he later admitted that 3 knockdown should have made it 10-6, in which case Pacquiao would have won.)

    However, these fighters are littered with decisions like that so I don't bother my ass with their records.
