Most Controversial Decisions

[REMOVE SHARK 55]

Jamie McDonnell vs Liborio Solis is the most disgusting I've seen in recent memory. Historically all the fights I would have mentioned have been mentioned already.

[billeau2]

The worst I have seen would include:


Lewis-Holyfield 1


Whitaker-Chavez


Whitaker- Ramirez


Martinez-Cintron which was even worse because Cintron should have been counted out.

Good list! amen.

Those 2 decisions against Sweet Pea Whitaker were a disgrace.

yeah....and there isnt a boxer alive, besides margarito, that i hate more. regardless, pea had skill and should have won.

Evander Holyfield vs Lennox Lewis was a way way more controversial decision than Andre Ward vs Sergey Kovalev! Credit to Evander Holyfield for taking the second fight, and really pushing Lennox lewis in the rematch!

I can remember i got this documentary for Christmas when i was a kid on VHS! haha!

Perhaps one of the most controversial decisions in boxing...Angel Garcias decision to smoke crack before all of his sons press conferences.

The top 3 that come to mind in order:

1) Santa Cruz vs Casamayor - The worst. Just disgusting. There's no way using the criteria that judges are supposed to use that one comes up with Casamayor winning. My scorecard gave Casamayor like 1 maybe 2 rounds and those were pity rounds. Hell I don't recall Santa Cruz winning a meaningful fight after that, but i still remember the name because it was the worst decision I've seen.

2) DLH vs Trinidad - I'm from PR and I remember being like 13 seeing that fight with all my family at my grandmothers. Before the decision was announced we were all like "maybe if trinidad fights like he did at the end in the rematch, then he can win the rematch". Then when the decision was announced we all waited like 2 long seconds for the news to sink in, and then we cheered. But even when cheering the consensus was that Trinidad lost that fight big. DLH won 9-3 and rightfully deserves that victory in his resume.

3) Whittaker vs Chavez - Not as disgusting because it was a draw, but it was still the wrong decision and just as worthy of being on this list. Whittaker won 8-4. I can see a score card of Whittaker 9-3. If you're a die hard Chavez fan maybe I can see a scorecard of Whittaker winning 7-5, but anything closer is unacceptable.


That was the order placed on worst robberies based on judging criteria. I didn't consider the p4p ratings of each fighter or the magnitude of the events. These are other factors that can also be considered. Robberies occur in boxing all the time, particularly at the lower levels to protect up and coming fighters. If one considers this 2 factors then Whittaker/Chavez is the worst robbery of those 3. Those 2 were P4P #1 and #2 at the moment their fight occured if i remember it right. DLH/Trinidad would be a close second considering those 2 aspects. Both Whittaker and DLH won those fights and deserve those feathers on their caps. For those robberies to occur to P4P fighters with the whole world watching is disgusting and turns people off.

Harold Johnson vs Willie Pastrano

I had forgotten about that one lol :hah9: Good call :cool9:

[KidDinamita]

Calzaghe - hopkins...hamed - barrera

Hamed - Barrera? lool.

The only robbery I see in this fight is it should have been listed as 'By Humiliation' instead of 'Unanimous Decision'.

[Anthony342]

Yeah, especially when he drove Hamed's face into the turnbuckle. I love it when someone pays for badmouthing.
