    I was just about to mention Witherspoon.

    Whitaker got screwed over royally by the judges in his fight with Ramirez. It just may have been the worst decision of the 80's. Then it happens again in the biggest fight of his career with JCC, which should have been his crowning glory. Not as bad as the Ramirez verdict, but it robbed Whitaker of a legitimate win.

    All time is definitely Joe Louis. Should have been the first name mentioned.

    The list of fighters that have been screwed over is longer than Santa's Christmas list. Lot of notables in the 30s. Louis, Carnera as far as earnings. Schmeling was robbed out his title by deciscion and then after beating Louis was denied his rightful oppurtunity to regain it from Braddock. In more recent years both Oscar and Whitaker have come out multiple times on the wrong end of the decsion.

    At this time Tyson Fury feels like he has been screwed over, big time, by David Haye if you listen to him..............he claims he will retire because of that.........

    Watch Mike Tyson on HBO, according to Tyson, Don King really screwed him over badly................
