    Not "most screwed over boxer ever" but Raymundo Beltran rarely seems to get a break, I had him beating Sharif Bogere and he was victim to a disgusting robbery when he fought Ricky Burns.

    Yeah mannys contract is obviously bad in terms of him being a slave to Arum but the amount of money king took from tyson was crazy.

    Agreed.For what they meant to him,the losses to Ali and Norton.The first one I believe he won,the second just an absolute robbery.

    it's been said a few times on here but I totaly agree that it's Emanuel Augustus some of the points they deducted from him were obscene and the decisions were laughable.

    supremely entertaining fighter if a bit unconventional

    How about Joseph Agbeko being paid 4,000 bucks for an IBF title defense!
    this dude was really FUC.KED over by SCUM Don King

    Joseph Agbeko Sues Don King, Alleges Short Payment on Seven Fights

    Two-time former bantamweight titlist Joseph Agbeko has filed a lawsuit in New Jersey against promoter Don King, alleging that he was shortchanged on payments in seven fights.

    The suit also says King and his company, Don King Productions, violated the federal Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act, which was enacted in 2000 partially to protect boxers from exploitation. ... In one fight in Newark’s Prudential Center on Dec. 11, 2008, Agbeko successfully defended his championship title, was paid $4,000 and had $21,000 taken from him in the form of deductions, the suit alleges. ... According to the suit, King and his company failed to prove the deductions were legitimate or document their compensation following that fight. The court papers also allege King and his company failed to pay the Internal Revenue Service all the taxes owed on what they took from Agbeko’s winnings.
