        1st one. I thought the second could have been a draw, it was close but not a robbery.

          I think it is funny that we are talking about the greatest robbery in Boxing history, and we cant decide if it was Dempsey Tunney beack in the 50s or Augustus Burton.

          In any sport that has to be judged, there is room for judgement error and corruption, so you get these decisions that are crappy, but they are what they are.

          By the way, the biggest robbery was Nancy Kerrigan / Oksana Baiul in the 1994 olympics in figure skating. But I digress.

                One of the biggest robberies might have taken place in the Olympic Boxing Finals of 1988 as RJJ clearly won the bout.

                MMH vs. SRL just hurts till this very day. Same with Sturm vs. DLH.

                And Dempsey was part of some strange fights as well. The infamous long count and the bout where he was knocked outa the ring by Firpo and the ref didnt started counting before he was pushed back in by some reporters.

                The biggest robbery might've been not to allow a black man to hold the HW title in the late 18th century until Johnson.

                Either that or not giving Sam Langford a serious title shot throughout all those years.

                  marques-pacquiao


                  Finally somebody got to ask this? Would there be any worst robbery in boxing history than when a judge and the ref both commited blunders to deny the rightful winner the victory with two belts and titles at stake?

                  Would you honestly believe that at the Pac/JMM fight . . . a judge can misscore a round and the ref didn't deduct a point after so many low blow warnings? Until now I'm still shock that the boxing bodies and boxing commision involve didn't lift a finger to correct that result and infact denied the protest from
                  team Pac for "lack of merit".

                  The degree of worseness depends on what is at stake in the fight . . . I believe.

                    Sturm-hoya
                    Pacman-JMM
                    Espinosa-Sotto
