I'll second that, that was the worst ive ever seen!!Originally posted by Zhen
The ref was warning Reid for punching Ottke!! Maybe someone should tell Sven that boxing is a contact sport!!Comment

I saw some amatuer boxing matches when I use to box back in the late 80's that were so bad they were comical. I remember seeing some kid get knocked down four times in a fight and win. But i'm sure that goes on in alot of small town venues. On the big scale i'd have to say Hagler-Leanord was a disapointment.Comment

They say Peter Jackson was the most talented heavyweight around in the late 1800's, but both Sullivan and Corbett refused to defend their titles against him.Originally posted by Dude
When Jackson challenged him for the title, Sullivan said he'd never fight a black man, even though he had fought at least one in the past and had challenged other black men when he was in his younger days (George Godfrey, for example).
And when Jackson tried to get a rematch with James Corbett after he had won the title, Corbett refused to fight him anywhere but in the southern United States, where Jackson was sure to get unfair treatment. Jackson was having none of that!
Apparently Sam Langford came very close to getting a middleweight title shot against Stanley Ketchel, and would've had Ketchel not been shot and killed shortly after the two fought a six round 'exhibition' fight (which was to showcase a later title fight between the two).
To stay on topic, the worst robbery in a fight could've been when Fighting Harada was in there against Johnny Famechon. Famechon won maybe two rounds in that whole fight, but Willie Pep judged him to be the winner after the fifteen rounds were completed (best example of the saying, "hometown decision"). Because of that robbery, Fighting Harada lost his chance to be the first fighter to ever win world titles in the flyweight, bantamweight, and featherweight divisions.Comment

90 percent of the people in here are not talking about true robberies. pacquaio gets D because one round was scored incorrectly, that is not a robbery. neither was srl vs hagler, leonard easily won the first 4 rounds imo and at worst ended up with a draw, i cannot see how hagler was in any way robbed. strum/de la hoya or delhoya/trinidad either. a true robbery imo is something like lewis vs holyfield I.Comment

Perhaps not the worst in boxing history but definatly a semi recent one. Although even though i thought Reid had the fight in the bag he didn't put enough pressure on in the last few rounds and anyone who knows anything about the bent judges in Germany they know that you have to fight your heart out to beat Sven on points. You need a miracle.Originally posted by ZhenComment

although I am a huge fan of both Hagler and Leonard....I have to say in my humble opinion Hagler won that fight by 2 points thats how I had it scored. Hagler landed the more solid shots and was the agressor even had Sugar Ray dazed in round 9. Sugar Rays blows were more glancing and he ran alot of the fight. It was a close one ,,,could have even been called a draw. some of the judges scoring was ridiculous one had sugar winning by 8 points!!!??? anyway thats my thoughts.Comment
