Top 15 Worst Boxing Robberies

Here are six:
Torres vs Cotton
Ali vs Young
Ali vs Norton 3
Patterson vs Ellis
Louis vs Walcott 1
Foreman vs Schultz

 

Zarate - Pintor

I watched this bout live and once the final bell rang felt the decision was a forgone conclusion. Since then I've watched it numerous times and cannot fathom the judges decision. Certainly Pinter was the aggressor but he landed way too few blows.

 

I remember watching Hearns v. Leonard 2. What always stuck out in my head after all these years is, what seemed like, the whole crowd yelling "Bull****!"

 

Lewis Mercer I had Mercer a clear winner.
Holmes Spinks 2 Holmes clear winner
Haugen Paz 1 home town win for Paz BS decision.
Just some more that come to mind

 

Foreman landed more punches than Shultz. Just because Axel did better than people though he would doesn't equal a win or robbery. But if you want to talk about a robbery with Foreman you could go Foreman vs Briggs.

Whitaker vs Chavez. Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield 1. Ted Lowry Vs Rocky Marciano 1.[url]http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:19970[/url] Your "great" Marciano getting his butt whipped by a mediocre 177 pound fighter Marciano vs Roland LaStarza 1. Pernell Whitaker vs De La Hoya. Ike Quartey vs De La Hoya, Felix Sturm vs Del La Hoya , Ali v Doug Jones, Larry Holmes vs Tim Witherspoon, Pernell Whitaker vs Jose Luis Ramirez 1.

 

You've seen the complete Walcott Louis1 fight?

Azumah Nelson - JeffFenech I
Alfredo Escalera - Tyrone Everett
Kid Gavilan - Billy Graham III
John Conteh - Jesse Burnett
Leon Spinks - Jesse Burnett
Emile Griffith - Luis Rodriguez IV
Bernardo Pinango - Frankie Duarte
Hiroshi Kobayashi - Antonio Amaya I
Mustafa Hamsho - Curtis Parker I
Vito Antuofermo - Alan Minter I

 

Also...

Basilio - Saxton I
Lockridge - Gomez
Nelson - Martinez I
Qawi - Ocasio
Bramble - Carr

 

Good picks. Holmes really got screwed in that second bout.

 

Kovalev vs Ward x 15..........

 

Lockridge-Gomez for sure If you fight Gomez in Puerto Rico , you better knock him out. You won't win a decision.

The absolute worst I ever saw, though, was Escalera-Everett. No judge, however inexperienced or indecisive, could have had that one wrong. I thought Everett won 12 of 15 rounds and won them clearly. They were paid off, pure and simple.

And I do wish people would stop using the word "robbery" every fvcking time there's a close fight. Hearns-Leonard 2 and Ward-Kovalev, for example.

 

One of the worst Ive ever seen was Paulie Ayala-Hugo Dianzo. I think I had Dianzo winning almost every round. There were about four fights in a row Ayala could have lost but this one took the cake. This probably for me the height of Bob Arum's crookedness. Right around this time if you were an Arum fighter you werent losing no matter how bad you got beat.
