ther are too many to list, Vincent V Barnes was a shocker
both the Vanzie v Earl fights,
Shultz formean
Lewis Holyield 1
De la hoya V sturm
Brodie Jorrin was a disgrace
woods getting a draw against johnson the first time as well.
whitaker was a masterful boxer and prob. had arguably the best defense in the history of the sport he made guys look silly in there ..the judges are not there for entertaiment purposes they are there to score a fight so i don't buy the excuse that because of his style he should not be given rnds. that he clearly won especialy the chavez fight which i also considered the worst dec. ever.
I really apreciate this post,it is a really good arguement.
But my piont is that, if I had a hard time keeping my eyes on the man, I,m sure others did as well, right or not.
I also always got the impression tha all he wanted to do in there, was to make a man miss without really wanting to make him pay. There are many Fighters today that have the talent to do that, but but I believe will not, because they learned there lesson from Whitaker. ( no money ).
DelaHoya tried the same thing with Trinadad and was slammed. ( even though he did not look as natural at doing it. )
I also believe that Whitaker got credit for illegal tactics, that he should'nt of. Although I thought he won the Chavez fight, I dont consider it the worst decision even in the last 10 years, much less of all time.
i think it has to be
1.Tarver v jones 1, i thought tarver had it in thr bag easily
2.Hagler v lenoard (i had marvin 116-113)
3. lewis v holyfeild 1
i agree on all 3 of these fight, but they where very close fights. on efight that i didn't think was close at all was Bryd vs. Fres oquendo. that was a bad decision, i'm glad it happened though, cause i would hate to see Fres as a champion
sorry it came out rong it wa in my opinon that it was a rip off i just thought jones lookeed sluggish all fight
Roy did look sluggish, but I and most people believe that Roy did just enough to win the fight.
Whitaker had a terrible, boring, unexiting style that I believe turned off almost anyone who watched him. Including judges. He might of won those fights, but who cares.

Whitaker VS. Chavez
Whitaker VS. Ramirez
Whitaker VS. De Lay Hoya
Whitaker got screwed more from judges then any fighter I've seen. He clearly won these 3 fights. If you check the scorecards on each of these fights, you think Whitaker lost these 3 fights by a mile. We have had too many dirty judges in boxing. Boxing is a dirty sport & it's been dirty for 100 years now & it will continue being dirty in the future. This will never change, we will always have some dirty refs, Judges & promoters.

How about any and every fight that's ever taken place in Germany between an American and a foreigner where the American lost? German fighters deserve to be screwed over in the States for the next 20 years based on the shit they've pulled over there. Sturm was only the beginning. They're due for a long, long, long time of payback.
Whitaker-Chavez
Holyfield-Lewis I
Whitaker and Lewis each won at least 8 rounds CLEARLY in their respective fights and both guys ended up with draws. Bullshit
Golota Byrd
Half the fights televised by ESPN
Golata-Byrd definately not the alltime greatest ripoff. It was an extremely close fight, Byrd won the late rounds. I had it scored a draw, and a draw was a fair decision. Any fight that close is going to be slightly controversial, but I don't even think that was a bad decision, much less the alltime greatest ripoff.
hmm
1.Tarver v jones 1, i thought tarver had it in thr bag easily
lol...are you on crack? Trying to pass of this as "one of the worst robberies EVER" when most ppl thought Jones won?
Worst robberies ever would be like Augustus vs Burton, Whitaker vs Chavez, and Oquendo vs Byrd.
When you take into account the size of the event the worst desicion ever is by far.
Holyfield vs Lewis 1
The Undisputed Heavyweight Chmapionship Of The World in Madison Square Garden, with the entire sports world watching and what happens?
i know mate, so you going big on reid i see pal.
reckon calzaghe will grow some bollox and fight reid if he wins?
he does after all deserve to give Robin a rematch. Hardly conclusive either way was it the first meeting.
can see lacy walking onto that fearome right hand if he gets complacent cos there is no doubt that Lacy will out work Reaperman.
I just like spreading the wealth mate. I've cleaned up quite a bit on the underdogs this year. :D
Apparently Reid's been looking sharp in training and was fairly impressive against Magee. He'll probably make it ugly and lose by 3 or 4 rounds but you never know, the boy can dig and he knows all the tricks.
He does deserve a rematch with JC but I can't see him doing as well as last time if it did happen.
