    These are some of the fights people think were horrible decisions... How would you rank them from 1 - 10 (worst to least bad)

    Whitaker vs. Ramirez
    Whitaker vs. Chavez
    Lewis vs. Holyfield
    Casamayor vs. Santa Cruz
    Oscar vs. Felix
    SRL vs. Hearns 2
    PBF vs. Castillo
    Mosley vs. Hoya 2
    Taylor vs. Hopkins 1
    Chavez vs. Randall 2

    Alfredo Escalera-Tyone Everett
    Emile Griffith -Stanley Kitten Hayward
    Emile Griffith-Eckard Dagge
    Jimmy Young Muhammad Ali
    Jimmy Young-Ken Norton
    Carlos Zarate-Lupe Pintor
    Honorable mention goes to Willie Pastrano-Harold Johnson...though I think Pastrano won this one.

    Whitaker vs. Ramirez - havent watched yet
    Whitaker vs. Chavez - clear whitaker imo
    Lewis vs. Holyfield - clear lewis imo
    Casamayor vs. Santa Cruz - havent watched yet
    Oscar vs. Felix - close fight but Felix edged it
    SRL vs. Hearns 2 - again close fight but Hearns edged it (2 KDs should have sealed it)
    PBF vs. Castillo - another close fight, no robbery
    Mosley vs. Hoya 2 - Hoya won but not the worst robbery I have seen
    Taylor vs. Hopkins 1 - cant remember how I scored it
    Chavez vs. Randall 2 - as above

    The first Whitaker/Ramirez fight was fixed, the rematch was judged well.

    I had Whitaker winning the Chavez bout.

    The first Lewis/Holyfield fight was close, I had Lewis edging it.

    de la Hoya beat Strum IMO

    Lil Floyd edged Castillo

    Mosley edged de la Hoya in their rematch

    Taylor/HopkinsI was pick'em IMO.

    Chavez was winning the Randall rematch, but I suspect was lucky the fight was stopped when it was, as Randall was coming on strong.

    CORRUPT
    1. Lewis vs. Holyfield
    2. Oscar vs. Felix (Sturm)
    3. Whitaker vs. Chavez
    4. Whitaker vs. Ramirez
    5. Casamayor vs. Santa Cruz
    6. Chavez vs. Randall 2 - As far as scorecards go, wasn't that much of a robbery, but the decision to stop the fight stunk to high heaven

    INCOMPETENT
    7. Oscar vs. Felix (Trinidad)
    8. Mosley vs. Hoya 2
    9. SRL vs. Hearns 2

    EITHER WAY FIGHTS
    10. PBF vs. Castillo
    11. Taylor vs. Hopkins 1

    There's no way someone can deliver a draw scorecard in that fight in good conscience (unless they are ignorant).

    Are you serious? Oscar got absolutely pasted.

    That was the biggest travesty..or one of the biggest, of recent decades. Randall deserved a tko or at least a td. No way a quitter gets to win.

    I'd say Tito-DLH was corrupt, DKP was involved after all and he got the winner. I don't remember when DLH left Arum but I wouldn't be surprised if Arum tried to fix it against him to get some revenge, still that 1 you can sort of argue Mosley was landing more effective punches at times

    :thumbsup

    Whitaker/Ramirez 1 is absolutely the worst for me. Beyond disgrace. It was almost a completely shutout. Could give Ramirez two rounds if you're being generous.

    Perhaps... I also think there was quite a bit of pressure on the judges from the general boxing public and the boxing media, many of whom were starting to see Oscar as a bit of a protected species following dubious calls going his way against Pea and Ike.
