    Williams vs Lara and Martinez vs Cintron.


    The ones on the list are just close fights that could have gone either way for the exception of Sturm/De La Hoya.

    Completly delusional. Calzaghe landed more lefts then Hopkins landed his right. Thats all there is to it.

    It's hard for a guy to win a fight *cough mayweather* when you do nothing to the Champion:yikes in the entire 2nd half of the fight and say you should win because you fought injured.

    Totally agree except for the De la Hoya fight. I don't want to call it a robbery, but damn I thought Oscar won that fight big with his jab. George Forman was equally outraged. Oscar-Trinidad and Oscar- Shane II... Those were tough nights. I guess it was made up to him with the Sturm fight.

    SOme of those were very close fights that could have gone either. way .. Started with Closest fights down to worst ones of your llist.

    Vargas-WInky had it a draw
    Mayweather-Castillio Could have gone either way(see im not biased)
    Taylor-Hopkins- Hard to score not a robbery...Even fight IMO
    Calzahge-Hopkins im a Hopkins fan and i had Calzaghe by 1 point


    Pac-Marquez- Thought JMM won but it was close 2pts.


    ODLH-Sturm - Not a good decision ,but wouldnt call it a robbery..


    Mosley -ODLH RObbery

    Tito-OLDH
    Holyfield-Lewis I
    Casamayor-Santa Cruz



    IN recent years , you should have went with
    Martinez-Cintron
    Guzman -Funeka I
    Froch-Dirrell

    All on par with the last 4 i mentioned.

    None of the listed matches qualify as ''robbery''. Robbery is like Casamayor SD Santa Cruz or, to some extent, Beyer SD Lucas.

    Those saying Williams-Lara, Alexander-Mathysse, and other recent fights, the article was written in 2008.
