    Just Sturm. Many thought that Quartey won their fight, but given that everyone is calling it as a 1 or 2 point margin it hardly qualifies as a gift.

    Yeah, Oscar's offense was pathetically ineffective in this fight. Especially when he had Floyd on the ropes and was trying to go to the body. It made me say "If this guy's plan was to go for the body, shouldn't somebody have taught him how to throw a body punch?!!"

    Whitaker was not a gift, I think it was the correct decision in a very close fight.

    He was robbed in the Tito and Mosley II fights so we can give him some slack...

    Sturm and Quartey immediately came to mind.

    The Whitaker fight was also very close.

    Oscar has also got the short end of the stick in a couple of fights, the rematch with Mosley, and the Trinidad fight so even though he has got some gifts which iMO was only the Quartey fight, he has also gotten jobbed himself.

    Only Sturm.
    Quartey and Whitaker were close and could have gone either way.

    Sturm was the only fight were he deserved to lose. Quartey and Whitaker could have gone either way and it went in his favor.

    DLH was robbed against Tito. Mosley II could have gone either way and the decision was against him.
