ATR = ALL TIME ROBBED boxer

I didn't read all the posts but Hagler was blatently robbed multiple times

 

Casamayor does have a few fights he might have and probably should have won that went against him.

 

Floyd Patterson.

After his losses to Liston, Floyd put together a good run, and fought some tough opponents (including wins over Chuvalo, Machen, Cooper, and Bonavena).

However, I always thought he deserved the decision both times he fought Quarry (officially a draw and a loss for Floyd). He also was completely robbed against Ellis (at least the Quarry fights were close). And, at the beginning of his career, he was robbed against Joey Maxim.

Despite being chinny and undersized, I always thought of Floyd Patterson as being underrated. I rank him 17th all-time among heavyweights.

 

A lot of the fights I see listed were pretty close. I always thought "a robbery" required a fight to be pretty dominant one way, then have the decision swing the other way.

If a fight is close, I can see why someone could be upset that it didn't go the other way, but to call something an all-out robbery is pretty strong. Many posters here call almost any decision they didn't happen to agree with a robbery.

Robberies have to be pretty blatant, and the Pernell-Oscar fight (to name but one) was close and awkward to score. It wasn't obviously a domination (at least to these eyes). Same with Leonard-Hagler.

Lots of fights are close, and even if they eventually get scored the wrong way, they aren't necessarily "robberies."

Of course, there have been some legitimate robberies, and a good list of those could take up lots of space.

 

Bingo

 

James Toney got robbed twice against Montell Griffin and got blatantly robbed against Peter in their first fight.

Ok, Tiberi got robbed against Toney, so I guess that makes up for some of it...

Joel Casamayor

 

They both would easily make a Top 10 list for worst robberies of all time. And they'd both land pretty high on the list, I would suspect.

I think honorable mention should go to Jesse Ferguson. He "lost" enough fights to deserve it.

BTW, someone mentioned DM-Rocchigiani as an example of robbery. While I remember stopping of the fight was indeed somewhat strange, the real reason why Rocky lost was that he was later disqualified for using some steroids (or similar stuff). So IMHO it is not a robbery.
