    Germany, but the way that people overstate it overshadows similar things happening in other countries.

    I doubt its much easier in America to win a decision over De La Hoya as a foreginer, ask Sturm.

    There is no such thing as an okay robbery, we should be worried about them regardless of where it is and who the fighters are. People forget the Spinks-Phillips robbery was one of the worst in the last few years, yet its overlooked because its not high profile.

    It does not ****ing matter who you like. This is the problem, people are only worried about robberies if its a fighter they really like, or if its in Germany and they see fit to castigate the Germans as usual. It's a universal problem at all levels.

    There is a principal. Regardless of who you like these guys put sweat and blood into this and risk their health and careers in every fight, they at the least deserve a fair decision.

    Most and worse...okay so Germany has the most and worst.

    But what does it matter...really? Does it help us to just throw **** at Germany all the time?

    If you looked across the board at all levels of the sport, amateur and pro, this happens everywhere all the time. There needs to be some sort of universal solution, an independent body that can be appealed to.

    you're right. but that should also go hand in hand with legitimate fights, which means getting rid of boxing federations and having one governing body.

    but it's not going to happen because everyone is playing for what they can get out of it.

    and that includes all parties to different degrees.

    I've seen biased reffing and bad decisions everywhere - USA, Germany, UK, Argentina, Thailand, Japan.... The real question is, where isn't there home cooking?
