De la Hoya vs Ike quartey Forggoten War

[ShoulderRoll]

Azumah isn't forgotten. He gets mentioned a lot especially in reference to classic fights against Sanchez, Fenech and Jesse James Leija.

He was also a big scalp on Whitaker's resume.

This is exactly how I saw it, the commentators went crazy with how De La Hoya dominated the last round and knocked Quartey down but I thought he did enough in the rest of the rounds to pull it out. I would've liked to see a rematch as it was a very, very entertaining fight, one of Oscar's best fights for sure.

Did you see Floyd losing to Castillo, too?

Castillo winnig Floyd fight is not an controversial opinion ,both fights were close.

I made a thread about Mayweather-Castillo years ago - Look here

Definitely can see someone scoring it for Castillo if you watch it with the commentary on, without, I leaned towards Mayweather even though it was very close. Floyd won like 5 of the first 6 rounds I thought. But let's not try to get off topic if you want to post about that fight, there's the thread for you guys.

My last observation about this fight is how good DLH was as a welterweight about this time. It's still a surprise to me that there was no Trinidad rematch due to all the controversy of it. I know the fight itself didn't live up to expectations but never was a rematch more necessary than it was there. Both guys could've really done with it to enhance their legacy, but on the other hand, with the ending being so close/controversial, in a weird way neither guy really got diminished by the result.
