It doesn't matter how close a fight was if the outcome was predetermined.
That's what a robbery is........
The Whitaker-Chavez fight is perhaps the only robbery on the list. I can't say this for certain, though, as there are a few fights I haven't seen.
And I feel the same way as the poster who said he is dumbfounded that so many think Hagler was robbed against Leonard.

I will never understand the controversy surrounding Hopkins vs. Calzaghe.
It frequently enter these discussions but i just don't see how it's close to controversial let alone a robbery.

Originally posted by Scott9945 View PostI thought it was closer than Lara-Williams, Helenius-Chisora, and Sturm-Macklin should have been. Lara gave Williams a beating and Chisora won nine rounds minimum.
I felt Macklin did win the fight though.

A robbery is when a fighter who has clearly won isn't awarded the decision.
A robbery is where one fighter had no way of winning without a ko.
I think you misunderstand what I'm saying.
Do you really believe marquez was gonna get given that fight without a ko?
What about chisora??
Matthysse is another guy who gets screwed over a lot......

Boxing is dirty as **** it always has been, where you been on the moon???
On a side note I also had leonard beating hagler
Bottom line is promotors pay the ref and judges wages, if that ain't a conflict of intrest i don't know what is.....
