Robberies

[Spiegelo]

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

Chavez didn't win, it was a draw.

Yeah same as almost everyone else for me:
RJJ in the olympics
Whitaker - JCC
Whitaker - Ramirez
Jersey Joe - Louis
Soto - Lorenzo (noone mentioned this?)
And plenty more if I dedicate any thought

How was winky robbed against Bernard???
MAYBE the fight was a draw, but I had Bernard winning thanks to the 2nd half of the fight. It was pretty much a 1 round decision, but that's what Winky gets for fading so hard against the man.

The bold is very true and alot of people don't mention those fights because Holmes doesn't get the respect he deserves but those were robberies in every sense of the word in boxing.

Counting the olympics, I would give Roy Jones vs Park a shout.

Are you kidding me? That was an easy win for the Sven 'Slugger'!

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.

I rather watch two insects mate then watch Hopkins / Wright...If someone really wanted to punish me they could tie me to a chair and tape my eye lids open and make me watch Hopkins and Winky Wirght fights non stop for 24 hours....Lefty

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!

Lorenzo vs Soto (Thanks To Joe Cortez)
Peter vs McCline (Scoring was terrible)
Holy vs Lewis I (I thought Lewis beat him worse this fight then when they actually gave him the belts)

Throughout the history of the sport there has been quite a few robberies when it comes to Boxing compared to ANY other sport. Whether its a BS decision or a bad stoppage...What is the worst Robbery in the history of the sport?

Juan Coggi-Eder Gonzalez I

[Diego Morales]

Winky was ROBBED in that B-Hop fight, Winky easily won that fight. The Tito/Oscar argument I had a DRAW but if anyone won I believe it was prolly Oscar as much as I HATE to admit it!!!!

[KILLA RIGHT]

Sturm vs Oscar
HATTON VS COLLAZO
