    :good:lol: -- As much as I completely agree with you (see nick), in all honesty that was a close fight, nearer Williams-Martinez/Cotto-Clottey than a Holyfield-Lewis.

    It depends what you place more emphasis on -- display or effectiveness -- and Hagler didn't help himself by starting both orthodox and slowly.

    Mayweather's Olympic fight was an all-time stick up! Racism at the highest level!!! Martinez vs. Paul Williams was the most recent boxing robbery to date. Paul Williams flatout lost that fight.

    JCC-Whitaker was another one. It wasn't quite as bad as Foreman-Briggs in my opinion, but still an obvious decision gone wrong.

    This is bull****. Post the video it's on you tube and we are going to comment it together. It was one of the best amateurs fight that I've ever watched. The hands of both boxers were so fast that the judges didn't score plenty of points. Floyd maybe won but to mention it as one of the biggest robberies is biased .

    I don't completely agree with that. I scored it a draw, and you can make a solid argument that either fighter won. OTOH, that one judge -- was it 119-110?? -- clearly forgot his guide dog that night, and you could argue that that particular score was definitely a robbery.

    I made my wife watch the fight over with me cause she doesnt watch boxing really! I said thats Paul Williams babe he suppose to be real good. She said so whats all the hype about this guy, he getting his ass kicked. He keeps getting hit,lol! She could not believe he won that fight at the end. All she said was WOW! 119- 110 for that fight is the reason alot of people stop watching boxing. It's a sign of cheating and fixing of fights IMO!!!

    Julio cesar chavez jr. vs molina. it wasnt exactly the biggest roberies but julio lost and he keeps getting all the decisions. even his father went in an interview and said to the public. we are going to give him a rematch because a lot of people have been saying that molina won and we wanna make sure we beat him convencebly. Jr couldnt speak for himself, his daddy has to talk for him and by the way I saw some pic of his other son Omar fighting a midget, thats terrible. Where they get this taxi drivers from?

    Something was amiss with Williams card when Lewis fought Holyfield.
