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

[1SILVA]

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

Whitaker's first fight against Rivera was a plain robbery. Rivera totally out fought Whitaker. I believed Whitaker was robbed against Ramirez, Chavez and De La Hoya.

I must say I gave him the nod against DLH in a close ish fight but the other two were shockers.
Like I said generally these things even out over a career, DLH got the benefit of the doubt over Whitaker but didn't against Trinidad etc.
But Whitaker in particular didn't get any favours.

I re-watched Mosley-De La Hoya 2 and PED use aside, this is among the many overrated "robberies" ever. The meaningless system known as Compubox or HBO commentators make it look like a robbery. The fight itself featured DLH boxing and jabbing well, with Mosley landing the harder shots, many close rounds, with Mosley hurting DLH a few times in the last quarter of the fight.

Many are already listed that i would have included. One that comes to mind is Byrd vs Oquendo for the IBF title. Despite having two point deductions due to partisan officiating the Marquez vs John fight was another one that stands out. Even with the nonsensical point deductions i had JMM winning by 3 points.

So, Whiatker vs Ramirez I, Whitaker vs Chavez, Mosley vs De La Hoya II, James Toney vs Dave Tiberi, Lewis vs Holyfield I.

Were all close fights, that could of either way? No all should of been awarded to the loser and instead of a draw.

There have been lots and lots of bad decisions, over the years. That haven't been close fights.

Mosley/Oscar II one of the worst? Damn, if that's one of the worst, I'd hate to see what you think of a real robbery.

That fight was a robbery. No dout Oscar deserverd the decision. Even Mosley was shocked when he was declared the winner.

To say otherwise is plain ******.

Co-sign.

Agree with others on Whitaker-Chavez and would add:
Walcott-Louis I;
Ali-Norton III;
Holmes-Spinks II;
Tyrone Everett-Alfredo Escalera;
Lewis-Holy I among other moments of sheer judging disgust.

As I said previously,****** thread.So many crappy and ******ed fights listed here.So many of them that featured many close rounds in a fight where there was no real decisive winner.


Go watch Aaron Pryor's fight with Gary Hinton and you would feel ****** for even thinking you knew what the biggest robbery was.



I genuinely believe that only I am capable of scoring a fight sometimes.
