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.
Whitaker vs. Ramirez. 10. Whitaker vs. Chavez. 8. Lewis vs. Holyfield. 7. Casamayor vs. Santa Cruz. 9. Oscar vs. Felix. 5. SRL vs. Hearns 2. 6. PBF vs. Castillo. 1. Mosley vs. Hoya 2. 4. Taylor vs. Hopkins 1. 2. Chavez vs. Randall 2. 3. I actually have the official loser winning each of these fights bar pbf v castillo.
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
Missed tyhe couple I ain't seen: Whitaker vs. Ramirez - 11 Whitaker vs. Chavez - 9 Lewis vs. Holyfield - 8 Oscar vs. Felix - 7 SRL vs. Hearns 2 - 8 PBF vs. Castillo - zero Mosley vs. Hoya 2 - 5 Taylor vs. Hopkins 1 - 1
: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.
