    I had it 6-5 going into round 12, and Winky handed Taylor the final round making it 6-6. He should have fought the 12th and closed the show, if he did we might very well be talking about a completely different Boxing Landscape. Hopkins might have came back down to 160. Pavlik might not be the middleweight champion. Forrest might have moved up to challenge. Mayweather might have moved up to challenge. So many things could have been different, it is a shame that he didn't finish the fight.

    Melvina Lathon.

    I scored it 10-8 for Lewis. She gave it to Holyfield.

    I COMPLETELY AGREE.


    I would even put in Chavez-Whitaker.

    Again, all close fights, no robberies.


    Even though I scored for the loser in three of those fights, I can't call them robberies.

    When the topic of "biggest robberies" up, you can always count on some people to throw in some really close fights that could've gone either way.

    To make it worse, some people will sometimes even throw in Compubox as "evidence" that it was a robbery.

    :roll:

    a robbery cant be a robbery if it was a close fight

    the measuring stick is jones vs park seol olympics if its any wear near that its a robbery if its not close to that its just a close fight in whih the fighter you wanted to win didnt

    I'm surprised nobody mentioned Hearns-Leonard 2. Whitaker-Ramirez was a huge rip-off.

    I was at that fight. It was a clear win for Huerta. The fans booed the decision and cheered Huerta.

    Very true. That fight was under the radar because it was a late night fight on basic cable between to low profile fighters, but Shumenov took an obvious one sided beating. Crazy (or corrupt) judging in that one.

    Duran vs Camacho1 was an out and out robbery.Leonard even said so to Camacho after the fight.Then came back to fight Camacho and not Duran.Was at the JMM vs Pac 2 live.Marquez won hands down .Just look at the fighters faces when the decision is announced pac is shocked and Marquez is pissed off.Manny refused and still refuses a rematch.
