Class!

In my opinion the last classly fighter was Evander Holyfield.


That was certainly a golden era.

I didn't see the recent fight, but feel sorry for Manny. While head scratching results aren't new to boxing, it's strange that a challenger wins a decision where he was by all accounts outclassed throughout the fight.

I remember Ali winning a few controversial decisions against Frazier, Norton, and Jimmy Ellis in bouts where many thought his opponenents won the fight.
