Biggest Screwjob in Boxing

Hah, I made a topic about the Chavez - Whitaker robbery in the history folder minutes ago. So I'm voting for that. Whitaker was utterly robbed, possibly by Don King corruption.

De La Hoya-Sturm was ridiculous.

lewis vs holyfield 1 roy jones in the olympics

Hagler DID NOT win...Leonard won the fight YES it was close. Watch it again, it's been discussed many times. 115-113 In AMATURE boxing a slab counts as the same as a power punch. I have seen it many times, and in my opinion Hagler DID WIN the fight (and Judge Lou Filippo was right and Judge Jose J. Guerra bought).

Hagler Vs. Leonard (It was close but Hagler still won) I agree. And afterwards Leonard kept on telling he would not fight again and kept saying he was retired again until the Hagler ultimatum for the remach had passed and Hagler himself finally retired. Only that dared leonard to return to boxing. Makes you wonder who in de mind of Leonard was the winner: Hagler!

DLH vs. Trinidad and Mosley are obvious stand outs but I can't believe Danny Williams lost to Michael Sprott this year for the Britigh heavyweight title. Awful fight but Williams hardly took a shot and Sprott's face was battered and picture said a thousand words.

On reflection, the Trinidad Win over De La Hoya stank of.....DON KING! It was a robbery and I hope Tito gets outpointed by Ronald Wright I agree with Kimmy on this.

In my opinion, the worst decision in boxing history was Johnny Famechon getting the win over Fighting Harada in their first fight, which took place in Famechon's homeland of Australia. I gave Famechon a grand total of two of the fifteen rounds in that fight, which is an opinion echoed by everyone who has seen the fight (they all think Johhny won between one and three rounds, in total). The fight was very one-sided in favour of Harada, and a blind man could see it as such. The fight was initially called a draw by Willie Pep, but when the crowd boo'ed that decision he gathered with other ringside officials for a couple of minutes, changed his scorecard and then declared Famechon the winner...The crowd then boo'ed even louder, and gave Harada a big cheer when he bowed to them. Willie Pep thought the first outbreak of booing meant different, but the crowd thought Harada should've got the decision all along. I've seen all of the other fights mentioned in this thread, and in terms of a robbery, none of them compare to the ridiculous scoring in that Famechon/Harada fight.

So what is it folks? Leonard-Hearnes, easily.

DLH ran from Tito because he was about to get KO'd and yes the Byrd-Oquendo was a horrible one Yes, I heard its true that when you make a superstar boxer look like a fool for 9 straight rounds and fighting the fight of your life, you "run" not because your a little exhausted and need to catch your breath, but because your scared. Why do people even say that Oscar was afraid of Tito? He made Tito his girlfriend for 3 quarters of the fight.Unbelievable, some of boxing's fans are as bad as the judges. I think IwatchBoxing is puerto rican. Ive said this many times, I have not met too many non puerto ricans that thought Tito won that fight. for 75% of the fight, Oscar made Tito look stupid.

DLH ran the last 3 rounds not the last 4. Which is rounds 10-12. No rounds were scored 10-8 in that fight, and yes, some of the first 9 rounds were scored for Trinidad. One of the biggest screwjobs in boxing IMO is having the official Weigh-in the day before the fight letting fighters gain as much weight as they want before the fight. Look at the difference Kostya Tzu and Alexus Arguello. Kostya looks like a jr. middleweight. There should never be a huge weight advantage between fighters in the divisions below heavyweight. Somthing needed to be done about guys being dehydrated before fights but this is not it.

im wondering have any of you guys seen judah/glen johnson? i had judah winning maybe a round, 2 at best. it was more of a robbery than whitaker/chavez or lewis/holyfield I . daniel judah post fight interview "i thought i lost" LOL you mean joppy vs. glen johnson :confused:

Which rounds in ODLH vs Trinidad were scored 10-8 for Trinidad? 9-12. That's why it was a robbery, DLH clearly won the first 8 and the last 4 had to be scored 10-8 for Tito in order for him to get the decision. Unless of course some of the judges scored some of the first 8 even which would have been just as absurd as giving Tito 10-8 rounds at the end.

i also scored the fight for ray leonard, in no way was it a robbery.

Hagler Vs. Leonard (It was close but Hagler still won) Hagler DID NOT win...Leonard won the fight YES it was close. Watch it again, it's been discussed many times. 115-113

I agree with Wissy's top 2 (lewis vs holyfield, chavez vs. whitaker)...but I HAVE TO thrown in Oquendo's loss to Byrd.

Whitaker vs Chavez Lewis vs Holyfield Those were obvious screwjobs as the fighter who dominated hardcore did not get the win. However, don't feel too bad for em, that at least got the draw. The worst i have seen are: Ottke vs Teddy Reid Ottke vs Mars Larsen Ottke vs Byron Mitchell Tapia vs Medina These were fights where the WINNER, did not get a win but in fact got a LOSS for their troubles. Ludicrous. Stuff like this kills boxing.

Which rounds in ODLH vs Trinidad were scored 10-8 for Trinidad?
