    a lot of these are not robberies but just close fights. for something to be the "biggest robbery, " shouldn't it be an obvious UD for one person going either draw or to the other person?

    like why have leonard hagler on there (not a robbery at all) but not leonard hearns 2 (even SRL says Tommy won)? where's sweet pea vs chavez? Bradley vs Pacman is way more of a robbery than Bradly vs Provodnikov.

    holy lewis 1 and holy valuev were robberies, that is true. the rest of this list is dubious and seems like just times you were mad about a decision.

    It’s more than 20 years, but the most outrageous robbery ever is still Juan Coggi-Eder Gonzalez 1

    It’s bad enough to win 8 of 12 rounds and lose the decision. It’s even worse when you really win by knockout or win by DQ on three separate occasions, but the ref/timekeeper rules than you didn’t, and then you lose the fight.

    Pretty much. Leonard-Hagler is like the most evenly debated controversial decision ever. I get the impression if you polled 100 big time boxing fans/historians and asked who won, 45 would say Ray, 45 would say Marvin, and 10 would have it even. I would be among those 10.

    Golovkin-Canelo 2 is another very close fight l that I scored 114-114. Not a robbery at all.

    I beat Mike Tyson many times before I beat Super Macho Man. All I did was use that code and fight him over and over again until I could finally beat him.

    Debatable decisions are not robberies.

    Just because your favourite fighter/s lost a decision does not make it a robbery which I sense is the agenda behind this thread. Golovkin lost a close fight to Canelo same as Lomachenko lost to Salido in a close fight, that's what the history books will quite rightly show and all the bitterness, crying and shouts of robbery ain't changing it.

    Fury Wilder & Fury McDermott 1 were not robberies.

    One judge giving it wide to Wilder was corruption, Alejandro Rochin. The fight itself Fury 114-112 was an average scorecard. If the fight was ruled in Wilders favour then we can start talking robbery.

    McDermott the Referee giving it to Fury is just a stupid system that changed consequently. Again a close fight many giving it to John by a couple of points.

    Marquez Vs Pacquiao 3 is one of the first robberies I saw as a boxing fan where my heart sank into my stomach I felt so bad for Marquez. Then Bradley Pacquiao 1.
