    Honorable mention: Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Serafim Todorov - 1996 Atlanta Olympics semifinals match

    A robbery so large the ref raises Mayweather's hand instead of the actual winner's. I still don't understand how Floyd was robbed in America against a Bulgarian. He literally ****ed him up in the 3rd round. Oh well, Olympic scoring has, and always will be an abomination to the sport.

    Looks like Fitzgeraldz did the wise thing and scarpered from this thread after starting it and then coming up with two examples that (a) weren't on HBO and (b) weren't robberies. That's pretty bad fail.

    I said list other notorious roberies, mabye I should've been more specific by saying that it didn't matter what network, just some roberies that you remember happening.

    Yes I did ... thats including both point deductions ... Castillo was aggressive but he wasn't doing anything that was effective ... Mayweather was never in danger ... Mayweather even knocked Castillo down early in the fight but it was ruled a slip, but at the same time Mayweather connected with a punch before Castillo went down.

    Mayweather also stood tall against Castillo down the stretch in the first fight, he was effective despite being injured.

    Emmanuel Augustus vs Courtey Burton was one of the worst so was Valuev-Holyfield which never gets discussed.
