    G3org3,

    I can agree with the majority of your list but what part of eubank vs saunders was controversial.

    Saunders won that clearly by 8-4 possibly 7-5 max.

    IMO

    Well it was a very close fight and I know most though Saunders won but still a lot had it a draw or thought eubank won including 1 of the judges, so I think it can go in the list.

    I had it 7-5 to Eunanks but it was close.

    So was Groves v De Gale that could have gone either way.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Fair and Balanced

    Muhammad Ali also lost to;

    * Doug Jones
    * Ken Norton II
    * Ken Norton III
    * Jimmy Young

    That's '4' more losses you can add on to his record.

    I think there is 3 catogories

    close - Saunders v Eubanks
    Controversial - Oscar v Shane 2, MAB v Morales 1 and 2
    robbery - Tyson where Atlas went mental this week.

    The line can be interpreted pretty fine at times with emotions in play between a robbery and a close fight.
