  • Biggest Robberies in Boxing History

    One of the things that has hurt boxing is highway robberies, especially when the local boy or a major name is involved. These are the 10 worst decisions that I have seen:
    1. Pintor-Zarate(first horrible decision I saw as a kid. I gave Zarate 10 rounds, plus he decked Pintor).
    2. Jesse Burnett-Leon Spinks(blatant robbery as Spinks had just move to the Crusierweight division)
    3. Dave Tiberi-James Toney(Toney second worst performance of his career. Just a plain bad decision).
    4 & 5. Toney-Montell Griffin I & II.(I thought Toney dominated both fights and got robbed)
    6. Emanuel Augustus-Courtney Burton(Augustus totally dominated Burton and the decision was ridiculous!!!!!!!!!).
    7. Rocky Lockridge-Wilfredo Gomez(Lockridge beat Gomez from pillar to poat for the first 7-8 rounds and while Gomez was the aggressor down the stretch, his offense was pathetic).
    8. Lewis-Holyfield I(Gave Lewis 8 rounds and to this day still can't believe this fight was a draw)
    9. Whitaker-Ramirez I(Whitaker boxed his pants off and the decision was a disgrace)
    10. Felix Sturm-De La Hoya(Sturm beat Oscar's ass with a jab all day long. Worse than when De La Hoya was robbed against Trinidad)

            Whitaker-Chavez definitely can be put on that list. Whitaker thoroughly outclassed Chavez only to get a draw. I thought he was robbed against De La Hoya as well

                  One is Bernard Hopkins vs Jermaine Taylor both times. How the hell did Jermaine Taylor get the W, when he never outshined Hopkins in both fights. Hopkins was the Champion, and taylor was given the Belts because boxing wanted a new champion that could draw in crowds for the long run. They thought Hopkins would soon retire. So they wanted young blood to control the sport. I thought hopkins was robbed.

                    Those fights in no way could be called "Robberies" They were both close fights that could have gone either way.
