    I'd agree. That fight Campillo won easily. Easily the biggest robbery...real robbery, this year.

    Hopkins-Pascal is certainly not the biggest robbery this year, let alone of all time.

    Harrison v Haye was the number 1 robbery this year. The amount of money they made off the fans by not actually boxing in a boxing match is criminal.

    Audley and David may as well just have hid behind the door and mug each patron as they walked in rather than masquerade it like a boxing match.

    This was Australia's number 1:

    Come on now.

    Coggi-Gonzalez 1
    Nelson-Fenech 1
    Whitaker-Chavez
    De La Hoya-Sturm
    Escalera-Everett
    Leonard-Hearns 2
    Holyfield-Lewis 1


    All easily worse. That's just off the top of my head.

    I think you're over reacting just a little bit!

    I had £50 on a Hopkins win by decision at 3/1 so Im very upset too!

    I felt he won it by a few rounds but with the two knockdowns and some close rounds, I think he did win the fight but its not the biggest robbery of all time!

    Malignaggi v Diaz I was a pretty embarrasing decision as well.

    Coggi-Gonzalez 1 remains the most ridiculous robbery ever.

    Nothing quite like winning the fight by DQ/stoppage 3 times in one round and still managing to lose the fight.

    This stuff is getting out of control TS, people seemed to be concerned about pushing personal agendas that calling it for what it is.

    Get real. Biggest robbery of all times?

    Close fight, which I think Hopkins won by 2 points but which could be ruled as draw also without anybody getting robbed.

    Did u really expect an old fighter who got dropped twice to win on points away from home? Get real.

    And as for the worse robbery of all time? Don't make me laugh.

    Librado Andrade still ranks as the only man to KO his opponent and still get robbed.

    Schmelling-Sharkey II was the fight for which the term robbed (at least in boxing) was invented.
