    I know that I was responding to his Whitaker had a boring style his style was far from boring but he focused to much on defenses that’s why he was robbed so many times he showed he could put down a guy for the 10 count when he actually goes for example 11th-round TKO victory over Diosbelys Hurtado on January 24 1997 to retain his title

    This is it. I had 11-4 to Harada, with at least one knockdown he should have had not counted, and at least one slip counted as a knockdown for Fammo.

    Not to mention, this denied Harada from being the first and only man to have been Champion at 112, 118, and 126.

    It's by no means the worst but one judge actually scoring Mayweather v Canelo a draw was ludicrous. Mayweather schooled Canelo every single round and they tried to rob him for their new cash cow lol.

    I thought Whitaker boxed pretty well in the Vasquez fight.

    Never ran away with it though. Agreed.

    Azumah Nelson - Jeff Fenech I
    Dwight Qawi - Ossie Ocasio
    Curtis Parker - Mustafa Hamsho I
    Emile Griffith - Luis Rodriguez IV (I felt Rodriguez won all 4 of their bouts but this was the most egregious verdict)

    Definitely mate. I think the only worst match I've seen is Agbeko - Mares and some Sven Ottke bouts, but I think those just have to do with absolute pure corruption rather than 'just' robberies.

    I had it 69-64 Harada. Definitely a worthy contender for robberies.

    In terms of importance of the fight.

    Golovkin - Alvarez 1
    Kovalev - Ward 1
    Lomachenko - Haney

    were the worst ones in recent times.
