A Draw.

Probably every fight fans least favorite result. An inconclusive finish that means we basically went the distance just to wind up back at the same place we started from.

However every once in a while we're lucky enough to see a draw where we legitimately saw the best of both fighters, and it raises the reputation of both fighters in the eyes of the Sporting public.

What are the best Draws you've ever seen?

Some of the best I've seen are

Leonard Dorin vs Paul Spadafora (this one is kinda forgotten, but it was an amazing bout)
James Toney vs Mike McCallum 1
Saul Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin 1

Anybody seen any better draws than those?

Can't believe I forgot Marquez vs Pacquiao 1

That's probably the best I've ever seen actually. A guy managing to get a draw after getting dropped 3 times in the 1st round is completely unheard of anywhere except that bout. It's one of the miracles of Boxing that lead to one of the all time great rivalries.

Hearns v Leonard II
Dokes v Weaver II
Injin Chi v Michael Brodie

Pawel Wolak vs Delvin Rodriguez 1

Definitely the best. I did think Hagler-Antuofermo I was a good one too.

Hagler vs Antuofermo was definitely an excellent fight. A lot of the time a controversial ending will kinda spoil people's memory of that fact which is a shame.

Always thought that was an interesting one.

-1974-

We can't forget Marvelous vs Vito Antuofermo (I) in 1979. It was the first time ever that I saw Marvelous fight.

First time I ever saw Hagler as well. Might have been Antuofermo's best fight. He got way behind, but gradually made a good comeback.

Vito Antuofermo fought his ass off. It was his defining fight. He really sucked it up and was relentless. I think that he lost that fight with Marvelous, but, not mad at the draw decision. It was a close fight in my view.

His two eyes were bloodied with cuts, and he like a warrior with a great heart, kept coming and coming. He didn't give up. That's a lot of heart from Vito.

Dang, didn't that fight footage remind you of physical embodiment of the famous 1909 painting THE STAG AT SHARKEY'S ?
( from Tom Sharkey's Athletic Club that had been located at Columbus Ave and W.67th street in NYC)
they must have those type of fights almost every night there !

-1983-

Not the most entertaining ever but Frazer Clarke - Fabio Wardley two years ago was a great fight

Sugar Ray Robinson vs Gene Fullmer (III) in 1960. I saw the fight and in my view, Robinson won by a slight margin. He could have been middleweight King for the 6th time!

Fernando Vargas - Orlando Salido

wasn't a bad draw
