Does Dempsey get too much of a free pass for the Meehan fights?

In that case the record is supposed to be more like 2-1-2 in favour of dempsey

We go by the official record Dempsey had a losing record against meehan

Woulda coulda shoulda means nothing the offical record is what matters.

but bad decisions are not a part of boxing right? And if a fighter is robbed in a match he should get criticism for it right?
