    Griffin over RJJ, that may just count as a robbery though.

    Count as a robbery ? Jones clearly hit Griffin when he was already on the canvas. So that was the right call, the referee made.

    List to many, thankfully still the boxing fans knows who's the better men of those fights on how they react in every unusual end result. I think it's where these judges lost their credibility in this sport.

    Junior Jones-Marco Antonio Barrera. Poison isn't a great like Barrera but beat him twice.

    Junior Jones is a puncher. And Barrera wasn't much of a boxer at that time.

    Barrera still had boxing skills then, he just used it more later on, most famously the Hamed fight, but it wasn't something he lacked.

    The fights with Jones made Barrera more of a boxer. He had the talent for it, but he never utilized it until he got punished in those two fights.

    Anyway I don't think it counts. Barrera was still young and Jones was a veteran who could hit. Just because Barrera ended up having a better career, it didn't make him the better fighter in those two fights.

    Pfffft, bull****! More like a case of a world class fighter in Quintana having an excellent fight plan. P. Willy wasn't the same fighter now as he was back then. He was easier to hit, didn't sit down well on his punches, doesn't use his height well, and was prety inaccurate considering the volume of punches he likes to throw and Carlos exploited all those flaws that night. So off night for Williams my ass! I'm really growing tired of people repeating that same old crap.

    Robinson vs Basilio is a good one Robinson was faster, more power, weighed more, and better overall skills in pretty much every category but he still lost.

    Why does no one mention any of W. Klitschko's losses?

    Pretty much all of them were to lesser fighters.

    some more exotic ones:

    Siaca over Mundine,
    Maxim over SRR
    Sheika over Johnson
