    When you think of robberies, you may think of Whitaker vs Chavez, Lewis vs Holy 1, etc..Is this one of the worst robberies in history, at least a top 10.

    I have to say when I heard 114 - 114 I thought what a disgrace. When I heard 115 - 113 and 116 - 112 I thought phew at least they have scored it reasonably fairly. Then, when they said Pac's name I was dumbstruck.... certainly the worst decision I have personally ever watched.

    This fight was not a robbery at all, I had Pac 115-113, Nacho messed up by telling JMM that he was ahead in the cards. If you want to talk about a real robbery watch Paul Williams vs Lara. To me Lara got robbed badly and it was very obvious!

    Whitaker/Chavez is a fair example for me...
    Also add De La Hoya/Trinidad & Leonard/Hagler (Yes, I was a Hagler won guy)

    Not really a robbery per se. More like Hoya-Mosley or Leonard-Hagler. Very close fight that Pacquaio feasibly could have won, but the cards seemed like they were penalizing Marquez a bit.

    This was a outright robbery. I find it hard to have given Manny 5 rounds, I only gave him 2 on my card. Marquez dominated him in pure boxing.

    Oscar Mosley 2, Trinidad Oscar, and now this one is the worst I've seen. I remember Holyfield/lewis was in a fixed fight that went under investigation.

    Top 5 all-time robberies.
    This was bad. It wasn't even close.
    Pac won max 4 rounds if that.
    And thats being generous. I really thought
    Pac only won 3 rounds. Wow! :patsch

    How can this fight be a robbery? Yes there were 4 rounds that Marquez clearly schooled Manny but Pac also manage to get 5 rounds though not as dominant as those four rounds by Marquez. The rest were close to either Pac or Marquez..People are just over reaching it.

    I watched it from a Brittan telecast and man were those boxing analysts mad as hell. Every single one of them were just blasting the judges, and even Arum. All of them thought Marquez won by at least 4 points.

    when i heard the 1st score, 114-114, i knew they were gonna fug him. he clearly won that fight. i saw it twice and i had him as the clear victor. the 1st 2 fights, i gave it to manny. but, this was more obvious than the 1st 2. jmm became more active in the 2nd half of the fight as manny tried to counter him with a hard shot.
