    It can be any fight you like...could be emotional ties...doesn't have to be a robbery on scorecard could be a ridiculous stoppage, A fighter being stripped of a title...etc. Doesn't have to be world title fights either.

    Mine well growing up as i lad i remember watching Micheal Brodie on saturday nights in fantastic fights and his chance came against Willie Jorrin....it was graduation night...he boxed beautifully it was his time...he should of been given the title he deserved that night...the status of World Champion...the Green Belt which his heroes held. Sadly it wasn't meant to be and at home in front of all his fans he was ROBBED!!! Micheal never went on to win a World title although he claims he was world champion and for me that night he won the world title. So if i could change one injustice it would have to be this one.

    Knowing now what we know, I would have loved for Cotto to carry on boxing Margarito like he did for the first 6 rounds and win a comfortable decision.

    Muhammad Ali getting his boxing license suspended when he refused to be inducted into the military. Robbed us of his prime years :-(

    If I were to choose something that wasn't personal then I'd say boxing not getting the coverage and platform it deserves. Boxing not being on the beeb is an absolute travesty as there is an audience out there for it. That said, I'm sure die-hard greyhound 'racing' fans and others into all kinds of sports feel the same way:lol:.

    Just imagine the numbers Haye-Valuev could have done on the beeb.

    This cracks me up as people go on like Graham was KO'd in the last round whilst winning handily, it was only the 4th round chances were he was going to walk onto another bomb later on.

    The injustice for me would be to give Charley Burley and all the Murderers Row boys a fair crack at the title they deserved.

    Trust Losfer to be a selfish ****

    God there are so many to think of but I have to say one of the biggest injustices and robberies that gets my goat is when Brodie got robbed in the Jorrin fight...:-(

    If he won that fight he could have got a couple of paydays that may have helped set him up for life...

    That decision sickened me...:barf

    I got choked after In Jin Chi first fight when he broke down and said he wanted it to do it for his mum who just died before it. Losing to Chi is no shame but Brodie had Jorrin's number all day long and the fight for me wasn't even close...so sad when you think his mum should of seen her son crowned wbc champion that night.

    Nahhhhhhhh, because that is a important part of his legacy....!!!

    Half of the epic fights....that happened in the 70's would not of happened...!

    Muhammad Ali's career would of panned out very different..!
