    Behonest people no bs. As much as you people keep saying Lara was robbed and that's the worst robbery ever but people forget about Holyfield vs Lewis 1? What about Holyfield vs Ruiz 1? How did Holyfield won the fight when imo he only won 2 rounds atleast?

    Imo Holyfield vs Lewis 1 was the worst one cause atleast Williams was throwing alot of punches and landed far more on Lara then Holyfield did on Lewis.

    At least Lewis didnt get an L and got a Draw. as disgusting as that was, i think the Williams-Lara robbery was worse, bc Williams got the win, even tho Lara clearly beat his ass big time.

    The only argument people could make for Williams is his workrate. But if you look at punch stats, lara outlanded williams by 24 punches. Amazing to see a fighter outland paul.

    The worst robbery I have seen was Jose Luis Ramirez decison over Pernell Whitaker. Whittaker won every round by convincing margins. Don King wanted Ramirez for a big money Mexican showdown in LA with Julio Ceasar Chavez. Needless to say, King got what he wanted. A blatant example of corrupted judges. It was so bad that the boxing world simply accepted the judges decision without cries of incompetency. Whether the judges in the Lara-Williams fight were incompetent or paid off is anyones guess, it is not like Williams has a huge money-maker bout in his future. In the long run the judges may have done more harm to Williams than to Lara.

    Lewis-Holyfield was the worst I've ever seen. Last night was close to that.

    Lewis-Holyfield 1. Lewis beat Holyfield that night in every possible way minus a knockdown. Hell check the compubox:

    I put the winner of each category in blue. Lewis won and there is no way in hell it was a draw.

    :deal This was far worse IMO. How it was scored a draw i'll never no. Plus it was on a far bigger stage than the other night, which makes it worse IMO

    Casamayor vs. Santa Cruz was pretty bad. From memory Williams vs. Lara was worse than Lewis vs. Holyfield. Both were outrageous.

    Williams vs Lara now is up there with Martinez-Cintron. Robbed from a KO, a DQ and a UD in the same fight. Thats unheard of.

    Lara without a doubt. Lewis himself barely did anything of note in the first Holyfield fight. He threw more punches and I felt that he won it.. but it wasn't a boxing clinic or anything. His punches seemed to have zero authority that night. Either way, he definitely deserved the win. Also, they made up for it in the second fight when I felt that Holyfield edged him. Plus... it was a draw, not a loss. Losses are just brutal nowadays... especially to an undefeated fighter.

    I can tell right there that you hate Lewis with a passion. Sure Lewis vs Holyfield was a draw but still it was the biggest robbery maybe of all times cause it was the biggest heavyweight fight since Tyson vs Holyfield or maybe longer before that and that fight was at the most famous arena in the world, msg. And too have it a draw when Lewis easily and i mean easily beat Holyfield from pillow to post? Was just flat out disgusting. That lady score the 5th round to Holyfield where that same round Lewis easily was beating Holyfield up when Holy was against the ropes. And put it this way Williams was atleast trying to win while Holyfield was throwing fewer punches in which Holy was like De la hoya in the Pacquiao fight. You say Lewis barely did anything of note in the first Holyfield fight? :lol: I think you need to watch that fight again cause Lewis was killing Holyfield with mostly alot of hard jabs with straight right hands over and over again.
