Robberies or Bad decisions

Sturm - De la Hoya
Lewis - Holyfield I
Pacquiao - Marquez III

 

Broner-Quintero
Broner-De Leon
Broner- Paulie.

 

Pacquiao vs Marquez 3
Whitaker/Chavez
Beltran/Burns

 

Ali vs Norton III - pure case of giving it to the bigger name although he lost clearly.

Lennox vs Holyfield - beating the home fighter in the US, about as hard as doing it in the UK or Germany.

Ottke vs Reid - Reid dared to punch poor Ottke in the face that night. He was lucky he didn't get DQ'd on the spot.

 

Valuev vs Holyfield - Holyfield earned that belt and I'm convinced something very fishy went on there as Valuev raised his arms after the final bell as if he knew he would get the nod despite giving such a crummy performance.

Sturm vs De La Hoya - This had big implications for boxing because Sturm refused to fight outside Germany after this robbery. Many good fights that could have been made weren't.

Chisora vs Scott - Scott could have been a interesting addition to the heavyweight scene. I can't help but think after 2 bad decisions against him he is discouraged and might even return to being a sparring partner.

 

Bad Decisions:

Jose Luis Castillo vs. Joel Casamayor
Vernon Forrest vs. Ike Quartey
Jean Marc Mormeck vs. Virgil Hill

Robberies:

O'Neil Bell vs. Dale Brown
Rios vs. Abril
Williams vs. Lara

 

How come no one has mentioned Pac vs Bradley? After the final bell and before the decision he hugged Arum and said "I just couldnt beat him Bob, I gave it my all though"..

 

Lebadev vs Huck
Murray vs Martinez
Quartey vs De La Hoya

 

I'll mention it because i couldn't believe that decision and either could the other 4 guys I was watching it with that night.

Some of the other fights mentioned in this thread I don't recall to really say but out of ones I've more recently watched or remember very clearly:

Pac vs Bradley
Lewis vs Holyfield I
Hearns vs Leonard II

 

Sven Ottke Vs Reid

Tito V DLH

Then either Benn Eubank 2 or hear a Leonard 2.

 

Very good ones everyone can agree on.

Whitaker vs. Chavez for sure.

As for Beltran/Burns, it isn't even a relevant enough fight to be listed among these other ones. Although "Beltran W UD12" would be nice...

X 2 on Ali vs. Norton III for sure.

I wouldn't agree with the sentiment you have next to "Lennox vs. Holyfield" though...

Lebedev vs. Huck and Murray vs. Sergio; while I agree they should have gone to the technical loser, they were also fights within 2 points. Tough to call that a robbery. The Murray W would have been historically relevant as it is the passing of the Middleweight lineage... which must go on!

 

Felix Sturm Daniel Geale

 

trinidad vs de la hoya
i'd let meldrick taylor see the bell against chavez and win on points
whitaker vs chavez

i would say marquez-pacquiao 2 and 3 but it led to such a great 4th fight and a storybook ending

 

erislandy savon vs joshua
erislandy savon vs mammadov
lara vs williams
