    When you see Dwyer raging like this, you know you're a good contender for the RotY.

    Well, certainly Chisora-Helenius stands out for me.

    It's the most recent which should not influence your decision. Though I'd also consider it the worst out of the bunch. But Williams vs. Lara and Pac vs. Marquez were equally embarassing to be fair.

    Horrible year for boxing regarding gift decisions.

    Williams vs. Lara
    Helenius vs. Chisora

    Both these were probably the widest for the person who should have won.
    Ill go for Chisora robbery tho.

    Why even mention JMM vs Pac 3? That wasn't even close to being considered a robbery by most. Aside from mellow dramatic Mexicans who lost a grip on the fight.... It was just a close compeitive fight where the decision wasn't the popular vote. Lara and Chrisora was the real robberies.

    Pac vs Marquez, Boxing was ****ed up when it was on the big stage. Helping it none what so ever.

    Equally fair? Pac vs JMM was in no way a robbery kid. Lara got robbed but Juan was on the other side of a close decision. It's embarrassing that people find a way to call a close fight a robbery and not think twice about it.

    Pacquiao beat Marquez. At WORST, it was a draw.

    Agreed. Chrisora and Lara were both victims.

    how I see it. I expected Chisora a little though, but I almost turned the TV of after the 12 round and was feeling sad because Paul's career was over.
    I don't even know why I kept it on, but then I heard Majority Decision, I was like :? uh oh
