It wouldn't have been criminal at all,it was a close fight,if you really wanna you can find 7 rounds to give him but Mayweather I thought did enough to win.
Yeah, this has been discussed ad nauseum. If you like a boxer who is walking forward beating up air and the other guys arms, you'll consider giving this to DLH.
Sturm is the only gift, you could argue either way on Whitaker and Quartey. He was a victim himself against Trinidad and Mosley 2.
Sturm is the only fight that's really debatable on this question. It's hard to consider any others as "gifts" when there were so many other fights of his that were so incredibly close. Betcha, that if Quartey or Whitaker got those decisions, there would as well be many today questioning their performances. The guy did pretty damn good in a scrap against a steroid juiced Mosely and as well keepin' his chin up after gettin' dicked on the Trinidad fight.
That was the only gift decision which was clear and could be labeled robbery. The other ones like Mosley, Quartey, Whitaker were close fights that could have gone either way. With Sturm it was 8-4 and not enough close rounds to make it a draw giving DLH every benefit of the doubt.
