    I thought that Robin Reid V Sven Otke is possibly the worst I've ever seen.
    Martinez V Cintron could be one of recent times.
    Fury V McDermott also was a shambles

    I can't say all-time, but in the last 25 or so years:

    1) Toney-Tiberi
    2) Holyfield-Lewis I
    3) Ottke-Reid

    That is how it has always been...

    I had Castillo winning by a small margin on my card, by no means would I call the decision a robbery...

    Ottke was such a filthy *******; I refuse to acknowledge his perfect record. He made the decision to only fight where he knew the judges would give him the nod... He doesn't deserve his record; he didn't earn it, he stole it.

    In recent times id say Kotelnik Alexander ..... still for the life of me i can't understand how someone that landed more often with the clean effective punching could lose.
    Especially as Alexander was hitting air or gloves all night.


    Historicly id say Whitaker - Chavez , Sturm vs DLH gets a mention not because it was as outrageous of a robbery rounds wise but still it was SO easy to score ....
    Oh and Ottke vs Reid disgusts me to this day.

    Some other fights that were pretty suspect...

    Ali Vs. Norton 3 - At this point no judge in the world would rule against Muhammed Ali; he was officially no longer a boxer and had become some form of demigod. However, Ali being beloved doesn't change the fact that Norton beat his ass.

    Leonard Vs. Hearns 2 - Leonard was a mini-Ali and was filling the void left by the retirement of the great one. He was given the same kind of adoration as well, the kind of adoration that creates ugly results such as this one. Hearns was the better man this night, there was no draw.

    Maybe they aren't the three worst robberies of all time, but they are certainly better candidates than some of the other matches mentioned...
