14. Those aren't the best examples
Edited on Wed Oct-05-05 09:00 PM by Awsi Dooger
Jimmy Young did not beat Ali decisively. The ropes were absurdly loose and he kept ducking backward on them, sometimes a foot or two off the ground. Not exactly dominating an immortal champion. A decision that could have gone either way, like many late in Ali's career.

Hearns-Leoanard II was a DRAW. That is the very definition of something that was obviously not fixed. On a draw, NO ONE COLLECTS. Pure refund.

Hearns knocked Leonard down twice and I thought he won, but it was undenably close. Leonard actually had Hearns in big trouble a few times, winning rounds by large margins even while never knocking Hearns off his feet.

As I wrote in a previous post, I believe lesser fights have more potential for fixing, and have been influenced.
