    I'm not talking about close fights. My pick is Williams-Lara. Yours? :bbb

    Pac-Marquez really?? Even if you think JMM won... How was this a robbery? I'm a huge Pac fan, think Pac won, but if it were a draw, or JMM won by a point or so, I damn sure wouldn't call it robbery. It was a close fight.
    Your right about Chisora-Helenius though

    Pac Marquez in terms of stature of the fight and how convincing it was
    Also Jamie Cox won a Robbery

    I respect Pacquaio a great deal,but for me the scorecards were a robbery.
    Khan's fight is a perfect example of a close fight where any talk of robbery is ludicrous,but I still refuse to believe that Marquez lost and there should be any doubt.
    It's all about opinions...

    Chisora-Helenius
    Marquez - Pacquiao
    Sturm v Macklin
    but the worst Robberies were
    Matthysse - Alexander
    and Williams -Lara

    As above.

    Just rewatched the fight and had it wider than the first time I saw it on the night.

    PW won 3 rounds MAXIMUM, but its more likely he only won 2 or even 1 round.

    An absolute disgrace.
