    Biggest robberies in boxing

    Name some of the biggest screwjobs in boxing history...

    The biggest robbery in my opinion is when Balboa was robbed against the overrated Dixon. I had him up by 3 points on my scorecard.

      Juan Coggi-Eder Gonzalez 1 is the worst.

      Other bad robberies:

      Azumah Nelson-Jeff Fenech 1
      Jose Luis Ramirez-Pernell Whitaker 1
      Michael Spinks-Larry Holmes 2
      Alfredo Escalera-Tyrone Everett
      Evander Holyfield-Lennox Lewis 1


      **Now watch people name some fights where one guy by most objective accounts won by a point or 2 and there were close rounds**

        Does Balboa-Creed I fall under that criteria? I also had Balboa winning by a heavy margin.

              If there were an award that would take it.

                Quoted for truth.

                Anyway, a real robbery is RJJ vs. that Korean guy in the Olympics.

                    Coggi-Gonzalez I ****s all over it in terms of the "robbery" level.
