Bigger Robbery: Lewis-Holyfield I or Trinidad-De La Hoya

[RadioBox]

really about even IMO

I don't know.. Felix arguably won 3 rounds and a 4th could have been given to him. Holyfield arguably won 1 round.... (and that's very debatable)

Tito was landing 5-7 punches per rd thru the first 9 rounds so yes Oscar white washed him thru those rounds. Common mistake is people think the last 3 rounds are worth more if you win the 1st 9 the last 3 aren't worth more. It was just all-around horrible scoring. Oscar won the 12th rd one card when he did nothing. They gave Tito a rd where he got dominated. They say watch the fight with no sound well that doesn't help Tito land punches.

No matter how many times you repeat that he white washed the first 9 rounds doesn't make it a reality.

Lewis/Holyfield. Lewis clearly won.

De La Hoya ran in the end and it cost him the fight

Man I haven't watched these fights in a while. I need a refresher. Going off memory I would lean towards Lennox vs. Holyfield. DLH ran away from his victory but he was exceptional early on.

It's amazing that Don King orchestrated the 2 biggest robberies in the last 15 years in ONE year alone.

Pacquiao/bradley was a bigger robbery than dela hoya/trinidad imo, cause it was either 11/1 or 10/2 rounds in favor of pac

No it wasn't Pacquiao gave away the second half of the fight.

It was still a pretty big robbery. Although it's over sensationalized because of the internet age we live in now and the easy access to media info. If LEWIS-HOLYFIELD happened in 2013.. NSB would have crashed with British posters.

The amount of internet/social media hype really makes it easy to promote boxing events and boxers.. which is a shame because fighters like Roy Jones Jr in this current era would have been much more popular.

I always say Holyfield should have won just to piss people off both were indeed roberies though the only thing that makes a difference is the fact Oscar got a lose and Lewis a draw

its like Whitaker/ Ramerez 1
and
Whitaker/chavez

but I see the Ramerez decision is arguably the turning point in Whitakers career he changed his style to a more fan friendly judge friendly style and also became fearless in the sense that he did not fear the first lose and would fight anyone any time and that fight is what made him the all time great he is today from then on he wanted to fight the best there was period and made a hell of a career out of it his real record will always read to me as 44-2

[PR ESQ.]

refusing to engage in favor of running cannot be considered a robbery. regardless both golden boy and Tito are HOFs'

That wasn't the question
