    Are u serious? Just because Winky cries about all his losses/draws being robberies doesnt mean that they actually ARE robberies. NOT a robbery at all, if anything it was close and tough fight to score. Not to mention a boring one.

          When I read the thread title RJJ came to my mind first. That is hands down the biggest robbery in boxing history. Often you can make a small case for either boxer, but this one IMO takes the cake.

          Chavez 'win' over Sweet Pea was also a blatant theft.

          Besides the fights already mentioned in the thread I can off the top of my head mention that controversies surround the following fights as well:

          Spinks vs. Holmes I & II. Especially no. II)
          Fenech-Nelson
          Ali-Norton III

              yup I was at this fight live and that was a huge robbery. In the words of Larry merchant: "Vernon wouldnt you like to thank the judges?"

                  I keep on seeing this fight mentioned, but I have yet to see it. Can you give me a description of what went down?

                    People confuse Robberies with tight,tough decisions...A tough dec is JMM-Pac I,II which were so close it couldn't be called robbery. A robbery is SantaCruz-Casamayor and JC Chavez JR vs Vanda WHEN that judge gave JR every round NOW THATS A ROBBERY!
