which fighters today have the most 'could have gone the other way' results

[margaret thatcher]

ive seen people argue that broner easily could have 6 more losses on his record, so taking him from 34-4-1 to 29-10. my own record for him is 30-7-2 .............of the ones that people argue coulda gone against him, the only one i dont agree with was the paulie fight, which i thought he was close but clear, so i could see his record being as 'low' as 31-8

which fighters british level and up today have the most couldve gone the other way results?

[NoScoutingReports]

Badou Jack springs to mind in terms of a fighter who has been involved in a lot of close fights which have divided opinion regarding the result including three draws and other MD/SDs which could have left his record looking quite different I guess.

[margaret thatcher]

good shout

23-3-3, but could just as well be 27-2

[jameswilson]

John McDermott.

Not the most but by god could his resume have looked different with the Fury and Williams victories.

[jlh]

Although I can't admit to seeing all his fights but Lara has 3 draws and 3 loses by SD/MD. Judging by his record, he could have 6 few more wins on his records and still be undefeated if he had won an extra round in each of those.

[margaret thatcher]

only ever lost by split/md in fact, in know people have scored for him in all those losses/draws too, could well be 33-0

[jameswilson]

Golovkin and Canelo could have been in different spots had their two fights been scored differently..::::

[a force]

I know he’s retired now but surely Crolla has to be up there.

The Matthews draw, the wins over Rees & his final fight against Urquiaga then the losses against Perez & Sykes in prizefighter.

I’ve still never watched it but I heard some say the Burns fight was a lot closer too

He should have lost the Molina fight, that was a gift draw

[margaret thatcher]

ricky burns has a good few too

personally i thought he lost to beltran and relikh, a lot of people thought he beat figueroa, the selby fight was close too

[NoScoutingReports]

Danny Jacobs could have got the nod against GGG in the eyes of some before picking up a SD win against Derevyanchenko. Canelo fight was close but I'd say the result was correct but he could have easily dropped a decision against Rosado in an absolute stinker of a fight.

Shawn Porter lost his IBF title in a very close encounter with Brook before losing narrowly to Thurman, has since came out on the right side of a disputed SD v Ugas before losing a cracker with Spence. Record could look a fair bit different.

[Ruthless-RKO]

ricky burns has a good few too

personally i thought he lost to beltran and relikh, a lot of people thought he beat figueroa, the selby fight was close too

I had Relikh beating him too.

[forcefraser]

Adrian Broner

[Old bones Ian]

Guillermo Jones, he had SD loss and draw against Boudouani , then a draw against Johnny Nelson and a SD loss to Cunningham.

If they had gone his way he'd be retired with a 45-1 record

excellent call

[Glass Joe]

Not today but Sven Ottke

[jameswilson]

Watching Tyan Booth and he says he nearly beat Eubank Jr. Not sure I remember that one, but looked at his record.

He has 5 draws, ok some technical draws in there but Jesus does he have a lot of close losses. Lost by a few to Mathew Hall in Manchester early in his career. Lost his first fight on the road in Spain, lost his second fight by a point I think.

Booth was beaten up and stopped late by CEJ - talking bollocks.

Darren Gethin bounced his head off the canvas, nasty KO

[Twinkle Toes]

Eubank Snr

[stujones]

Eubank had a few. The draws with Benn and Close, the Watson fight, Thompson 1, some people say the Malinga fight, Dan Sherry could have been a DQ (had Sherry not milked it , it would have been) .

[Stobbo]

He's not an active fighter obviously but I can't think of anyone who had as many close ones as eubank

[D4v3]

De La Hoya, both Mosley fights (I'd call the second a bit of a robbery tbh), Tito (probably same), Floyd fight was close, Quartey, Sweet Pea, robbed Sturm.

[Delta Jay]

I know he’s not even alive, never mind active, but you have to mention Pernell Whitaker. Most of the blemishes on his record have a big fat asterisk next to them

First loss to Ramirez is considered a very bad decision.

Draw to Chavez is considered very bad, the front cover of the ring the next week called it a robbery, IIRC.

De La Hoya loss considered by many to be terrible decision.

Had one win overturned after failing a drug test. It’s his fault for taking cocaine but it’s not a performance enhancer, despite what some may think

Fought Trinidad after a 2 year lay off and came out with a totally different style that was never gonna work. Still did well and won a few rounds...
