Sorry if its been done to death What are the worst robberies in boxing history. I don't know how they still get away with it today. Pac vs Marquez II/III - I had Marquez 8-4 last night, at very worst 7-5. Clearly took Pac to school counter punching him all night making Pac look extremely uneffective most of the fight. I also had Marquez winning the second fight although it was close. You could also make a case for Marquez winning the first, although I gave it to Pac by 1 round. Marquez won the trilogy for me, although he has a 0-1-2 against Pac officially Oscar De La Hoya vs Felix Sturm - Think most people have seen the fight. Appalling decision Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield I - Lewis easily won the fight. Probably the most shocked |I have ever been at a decision. Pernell Whitaker vs Julio Cesar Chavez/plus others - Pernell was always getting jobbed Dempsey vs Tunney II - Clearly a KO for Dempsey, horrible.
Marvin Hagler vs Vito Antuofermo I. I thought Hagler won nearly every round. Felix Trinidad vs Oscar De La Hoya - Ok Oscar ran towards the end but he had the fight in the bag. Never a win for Felix. Got outboxed for 9 rounds Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Castillo I - Not a massive robbery, but should have been Floyds first L. I had Castillo winning by 2 Rounds. At worst it should have been a draw for Castillo. Okkte vs Robin Robin - Could easily be the worst. Makes me angry everytime I watch the fight
Aplogies, found another similar thread . Close thread xx http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=185417&page=5
Coggi-Gonzalez 1 is the most outrageous robbery ever. It makes Holyfield-Lewis look reasonable and makes Joe Cortez's recent ref work look good.
Of course Pac/Marquez III would be at the top of the list, even though it was a ****ing close match. And yet Williams/Lara, a decision that was SO SUSPECT that AN INVESTIGATION WAS LAUNCHED, and the judges involved SUSPENDED, is nowhere to be seen.
Hagler-Leaonard, Ramirez-Whittaker (unbelievable, Whittaker won nearly every round clearly, but KIng had a fight with Ramirez and Chavez set in LA), Chavez-Whittaker, the last Paul Williams fight, the 2nd Chavez-Randall fight, Rodriquez-Mataisse, Hagler-Auntofermo I, the 2nd Mosley-De la Hoya Fight, and the ones already listed.
Aside from all the fights already mentioned, Lara vs Williams, Matthysse vs Alexander and Kotelnik vs Alexander all deserve a mention IMO.
Your list is good except for having Pacquiao-Marquez on there. You seriously think its one of the worst in HISTORY? That is just stupid, it wasn't even a robbery because it was close. I thought Marquez won it by a point, but whatever way you look at it there was no robbery.
the worst i have ever seen is Casamayor vs Santa Cruz..but no one cares about this..just terrible.. Martinez vs Cintron a honorable mention
Whitaker-Chavez Whitaker won 9 rounds at least and was easily outboxing and outpunching him. It was a god damn disgrace.
