Biggest Robbery's In Boxing History

Well without boxing fans, there IS NO BOXING, so you figure it out, smart guy.

Yea most are casual fans who can't score fights and thinks Calzaghe is the most complete boxer today.

Biggest Robbery's In Boxing History ? personallly it thought Reid v Ottke was one of the worst ive ever seen he was'nt even allowed to hit Ottke without being penalised

tell us your suggestions

It is robberies not robbery's.

alright, "newbies to the sport of boxing", instead of "newbies to the forums on boxing scene"

regardless, some of those fights have no business being in the "biggest" robberies in the history of the sport when people still evenly argue who won the fight.

I used biggest in the sense that those fights were the most well known for showcasing boxing stars, and was well talked about. Superfights if you will.

If John Duddy beat Howard Eastman with a controvercial decision in a lopsided fight against him I wouldn't call that "Big".

Youre basing biggest on severity of the injustice. I'm judging it on scale.

Same with judges... which are better at scoring fights? The people who have dedicated the career part of their lives to judging fights, or some random dip**** who doesn't like Floyd Mayweather, and can't get over their personal biases.

Anyone who says that Mayweather vs. Castillo was more incorrect than Whitaker vs. Chavez, has either not seen the Whitaker vs. Chavez fight, or hates Mayweather more than they appreciate boxing.

I went Whitaker vs. Chavez, but I haven't seen Ottke vs. Reid.

here are some robberies in big fights, some superfights and others that weren't superfights but still real title fights. they're a combination of both injustice and being important fights.

holmes-spinks 2: holmes won 9-5-1.

chavez-whitaker: whitaker won 8-4, but at least the decision was a draw and whitaker didn't lose his title. he didn't get the first to hang an official "l" on chavez though.

holyfield-lewis i: lewis won 9-3. what a joke.

escalera-everett: everett won 10-5.

Can somebody here give me a synopsis of the Ottke-Reid fight? And how did the ref justify deducting points in this fight?

The Reid - Ottke fight is the biggest robbery of the last decade IMO. Basically Reid outboxes Ottke for a minimum of 8 rounds, I think I scored it for Reid by 10 and yet the Judges manage to give the fight to Ottke, a complete disgrace that deprieved a honest fighter of a world title. The point deduction was farsical, the point was taken for apparent hitting around the back when in fact they were clean bodyshots. ****ing joke.
