What In Your Opinion Is The Biggest Robbery Of All Time? (JUST ONE PICK)

[JAB5239]

You said only one pick, but I gotta throw Walcott-Louis 1 in there to. Walcott got jobbed in that one.

Burnett was one the wrong end of many bad decisions.

He knocked John Conteh down twice and was robbed; the fight was scored a draw.

Conteh had really gone downhill by 1979 although pulled off one last good performance against Saad Muhammad the first time.

I haven't scored this one but I've heard that it was another outrageous robbery against Burnett:



To Martin's credit he nearly came back to KO Burnett in the 12th and final round.

A, was Burnett a late come to the game, he didnt make his pro debut until the age of 25?

[Jim Jeffries]

No Sven Ottke fights yet?

Pernell Whitaker vs. JLR, JLR didn't win a round, not even one round. I know this wasn't as huge as Whitaker vs. JCC but atleast Chavez won 3/4 rounds, JLR didn't win any. Holyfield vs. Lewis is a good mention also.

Come to think of it Jesse Burnett reminds me of Glen Johnson in the regard that they weren't supposed to win alot of fights and the judges gave then no credit.
They both did lose fights but both came to give their best each time out. I remember when Burnett fought Victor Galindez in Galindez's attempt to rise to cruiserweight. Perhaps Burnett's best win. I guess the judges messed up, they gave the right man the decision!

I felt bad for Whitaker after the Ramirez fight. It was a masterful performance.

Generally these things even out over a career but Burnett and Whitaker didn't get any favours from the judges.
