Biggest Robberies in Boxing History

[ironalex]

okay i would say the biggest robbery i seen is without being biased(everyone else agreed there) my only loss at amateur, however, on a more global scene, anyone watch the reid/beyer fight? that was terrible, to this day i remember watching it when i was in my early teens i think, and not giving beyer a round. reid outclassed him and at many points was getting told off by the ref for hitting him!

The one i remember in recent history was Casamayor vs Santa Cruz. It was a horrible fight, but the decision was worse. All casamayor did was land arm punches and hols, while santa cruz made the fight.

And take your pick from any Glen Johnson fights to. The guy is always getting screwed.

No Foreman Briggs?

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.

First fight I thought BHop definitely won. Second, was open.

I scored the first fight for Taylor and the second for Hopkins.

The worst robberies I've seen are recent fights, as I'm a relatively new fan, but Rico Hoye over Montell Griffin and Chris Byrd over Fres Oquendo jump out at me when I think about it...

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

Maybe Taylor 1 could have gone either way, although I thought Taylor did well with his double jab and overhand right to win it. The second one was not close at all. Taylor was trying to shoeshine rounds after being schooled for most of the 3 mins. That alone should have earned him an L, but to top it off his shoeshining wasn't very succesful! Then he went on to get a draw V Winky after getting his head punched in like a speedball. I was happy when the fraud got exposed and KTFO!!! **** Jermaine 'the Gay Countryboy' Taylor

the worst i have ever seen was Joe Louis vs. Jersey Joe Walcott I, somebody mentioned already but i have to repeat...i was so angry and sad, lol.

Louis V Farr was meant to be a robbery too but I don't remember seeing that tape.

whitaker v chavez?

That one and JMM getting robbed V Pacqiaou are the two worst draw robberies ever. I suppose it is better tha an L but still a robbery in any case. Winky V Taylor was pretty bad too

Oscar has been robbed a few times V tito and Mosley rematch, but I also think he robbed a few people himself such as Bazooka and Adnan Kitic aka. Felix Sturm (just because he was meant to be a warm up for Oscar V Hopkins but turned out to be much more). So **** Dela Hoya! (j/k) Got a taste of his own medicine!

casamayor/castillo

Casamayor-vs-Santa Cruz was pretty bad.

[Derranged]

How about castillo vs mayweather 1.

No. Just no. IT WASNT A ROBERRY AT ALL. IF ANYTHING IT WAS CLOSE. GET OVER IT.
