I'm guessing it's Gabriel Campillo who was treated shabbily by the judges in his fight with Shumenov, possible both times with Murat & definitely against Cloud (although he should have cut back on the clowning).
Next up is Lucas Matthysse who was robbed in both losses to Judah & Alexander.
Honourable mention goes to Ali Funeka who controlled the fight against Campbell and also beat Guzman in their first bout.
Anyone else?
I agree. Molina is so overlooked it's unbelievable. Plus that DQ against Kirkland cost me £200.
Molina was going to get stopped. However, we can only speculate that now. His clinching against Kirkland was some of the worst I've ever seen.
Lucas Mattysee was not robbed against Zab Judah....he lost too many early rounds.
I swear people forget rounds if they see about 3 dominant rounds by someone. My answer is Richard Abril.
Carlos Molina. Against JCC Jr, Lara, and Kirkland. And he didn't get the benefit of the doubt against Mike Alvarado at least.

Perception is a funny thing. I thought the Funeka Campbell bout was a horrible robbery whilst Taylor beat Hopkins in their first bout (2nd was very close). Also thought Calzaghe beat the Nard too.
i thought funeka-campbell could have gon either way considering the knockdowns, funeka was badly robbed against guzman though. really in both fights considering the unfair advantage guzman had going into the rematch even though the scorecards were correct.
calzaghe lost to hopkins. missed punches isnt effective aggression and dont score any points other than the points the opponent gets for his defense. when they did land hopkins landed much better shots, harder, cleaner and more damaging. he dropped calzaghe and hurt him on 3-4 diffrent occassions, meanwhile the only damage calzaghe did was below the belt.
the only area calzaghe outpointed hopkins was ring generalship, he did a good job cutting the ring off and putting hopkins on the ropes but thats it.
clean effective punches - hopkins
effective aggression - neither (hopkins wasnt aggressive and calzaghe wasnt effective)
defense - hopkins
ring generalship - calzaghe
most ppl dont know how to score fights though, they think just throwing more punches is outworking someone regardless if you land or not. it isnt, outworking someone is if both fighters are about equally effective but one is significantly more busy.
if one is more busy but incredibly inneffective while the other is measured but very effective the guy who throws less wins huge. not only is he scoring on clean effective punching by landing more quality shots but hes scoring big on defense too.
i dont think ppl can tell whats an effective punch either though, they see with their ears. thats what killed hopkins against calzaghe and even more so against taylor. taylor could throw three shots miss all of them and get clocked with a counter right hand and lampley would go "big right hand from taylor, and another!" and ppl would buy it. if you turn the sound off you will see hopkins was boxing taylors ears off and the same thing applies to calzaghe.
joe slaps him 8 times on the gloves and hopkins hits him with two hard, clean bodyshots, in reality an excellent exchange for hopkins scoring with his punches and his defense. but instead its called and subsequently scored as a great flurry for joe.
matthyses losses to alexander and judah in particular werent really robberies imo. against judah i had him winning by just one point. in fact alot of these so called robberies were fights that could have gon either way, funeka-campbell for example.
hopkins was robbed worse against taylor twice and then even more so against calzaghe, now that was a real robbery.

Chavez was robbed against Molina in what I consider the crime of the century; I had that scored 60-47 for Chavez and that was me bending over backwards for Molina.
He was also robbed in the Zbik and Rubio fights most recently when he absolutely dominated every round, but actually lost some on a few of the more corrupt judges card. That's not even mentioning the shocking job Lawrence Cole did, not stopping the Mandredo earlier.
Gabriel Campillo and no-one comes close.
Carlos Molina comes close, and actually passes him IMO, Molina has been robbed 5 times at least plus a couple fights I can't find footage of, Campillo is sitting at around 4 right now. A couple of the earlier fights of Molina's I haven't been able to see though so they might be about even.
The amount of moaning the Klitschko dies hards do when it comes to the infamous TKO6, you would think Vitali was the worst robbed fighter of the modern era.
I was just going to enter the same name. I think he must has bad decisons on at least 15 0r more fights. Many of his early losses were not losses, but hometown decisions and outright robbery.
If he was active, it would 100 percent be him, but he retired then tried to have a comeback fight and didn't pass the medical exam. Augustus is a warrior, he once fought 3 fights in 3 different countries in 3 days, but he is no longer a 'current' boxer.
I'd say Carlos Molina, he was robbed twice against JCC Jr., He was robbed against Kirkland, Also by Lara(A draw, but Molina beat him clearly), Alvarado, and then 2 other fights I didn't get a chance to see.
matthyses losses to alexander and judah in particular werent really robberies imo. against judah i had him winning by just one point. in fact alot of these so called robberies were fights that could have gon either way, funeka-campbell for example.

Emmanuel Augustus has been robbed plenty in his early career. Not sure if he retired after the Paris bout though.

Was he robbed against John? I've never heard anyone say that before, to be honest. Did you see the fight, Chuck, & come to this conclusion or read that he was robbed? I'm not having a pop, just curious. Thanks...
I think he was robbed against John and borderline robbed in PAC 3. But it was my futile attempt to stir the pot
