    Oscar De La Hoya has been on both sides of the fence more than once.

    What I hate most is when a fighter gets shafted twice in a fight he won clearly, once could be an accident, twice is blatant home town cooking

    Bobby Vanzie - got shafted twice against Graham Earl

    Hugo Garay - got shafted twice against Erdei

    1990's George Foreman. Those horrendous Alex Stewart, Axel Shulz stinkers! Plaaaa! :pukke:pukke . Crawford Grimsley, Lou Saverese were pathetic fights too!

    I reckon British Journeyman Peter Buckley has a strong case for most robberies. Of the 246 decision defeats on his record, you figure at least 80 were by a round, so surely he deserved at least 20 of them decisions and perhaps another 20 draws?

    I suppose you could make a case for Emile Griffith. One of our best posters on classic feels he lost all of the Luis Manuel Rodriguez bouts.

    Marquez isn't really a classic forum fighter yet but even though I had him losing to Norwood and Pacquiao twice and drawing with John, all 4 of those fights could easily have gone his way. He has never been on the favourable end of a close decision and he would have had an absolutely stellar record and probably not been in a position to move up 2 divisions against Floyd too if those decisions had gone his way.

    to top it off his first loss was a DQ who knows what happened in that fight
