    De La Hoya-Mosley II
    Augustus-Burton
    Mercer-Lewis

    I think those were just plain robberies.

    I don't see how DLH-Mosley II was a robbery but to each their own.

    Santa Cruz-Casamayor is the one that sticks out to me.

    That one wasn't a decision it was a KO you could call it a controversial stoppage the judges cards looked exactly the way everyone agreed they should though.

    Controversial decisions (some I don't think should have been controversial)

    Toney-Tiberi (fbi even launched an investigation over this one)
    Chavez-Whitikar (sports illustrated cover after the fight said "robbed")
    Leanord-Hagler (people still ***** about it though I think it was a fair decision)
    DLH-Trinidad

    i'm going to mention one controversial decision that was justified, none to scream robbery or to insult the judges.

    holmes - norton

    i also had holmes ahead by 1 point. really tragic stuff for norton as this fighter didn't deserve neither fighter to lose, especially after the last round.

    That's right. Bonsante won every round and lost the decision. Also, Manfredo beat Mora that night and Mora got a SD.

    Hagler-Leonard was the most controversial in the sense that people always debate it. It's evenly argued.

    Others like Lewis-Holyfield I and Everett-Escalera, everyone knows who really won those fights.
     
  11. Evander Holyfield was robbed worse than RJ at the 84 Olympics in Los Angeles...that ref needed bodyguards just to get out of the ****ing ring..

    Holyfield was DQ'd for hitting after the break - which he did ... I don't see how that comes even close to the RJJ-robbery - hell even the Korean looked totally pusled...
