    What undefeated boxer got the most gift decisions?

    Rocky Marciano? Joe Calzaghe? Ricardo Lopez? Sven Ottke? Floyd Mayweather?

    I think it's a tie between the German and Floyd Mayweather. I think they both lost at least twice. Especially Ottke vs Reid and Mayweather vs Castillo I, are clear daylight robberies

    Dude, getting the nod in a close fight that could have gone either way is not a gift decision. Cal and Floyd shouldn't even be on the list.

      I'd say Floyd, he got the ones that mattered the most.
      Sure Danny "Gift" Garcia is getting a lot of nice presents lately.

        This thread is on life support. If we're going to discuss boxers that have gotten the most gift decisions, I'd expect a HELL of a better argument than "Floyd because he lost at least twice". The thread says MOST gift decisions and Floyd Mayweather is your prime lead with two? I was expecting other boxers with 4, 5, 6 "gift" decisions.

        Danny Garcia and Floyd? I can't speak about Herrera since I haven't seen that fight, but even then...that's ONE on Danny García.

        If we're going to start naming names over the smallest things, I might as well toss Paul Williams in there. That decision over Kermit Cintrón was bull. They went to the scorecards while round 4 was still in progress. That should've been a no contest. His fight with Lara was shady as all get-out as well. And if I wanted to nitpick, his decision over Martínez wouldn't have been as bad had the the judge hadn't scored it 118-110 considering how competitive it was.

          probably ottke followed by calzaghe. lopez and marciano never got a gift decision as far as i know and having watched all of mayweathers fights i know for a fact that he has never received a gift decision. because of his style mainstream fans who dont understand how to properly score a fight will always give him less credit than he deserves, so if a fight is remotely close they will think he lost.

            The only somewhat controversial Marciano fight was the first LaStarza bout. I think it was just a really close one rather than a robbery though.

              in terms of pure decisions that go to the judges its ottke. in terms of most gifts as in early stoppages and decisions its calzaghe.

                Floyd Mayweather has 2 I would have said Bradley with 3 but he lost. Rocky none 49 and 0 43 knock outs, Calzaghe beat Benard, and Roy. So after viewing the list It's Floyd

                  Try looking at those Compu box numbers in Castillo 1 Floyd was out landed by 90 punches more power punches hell even the entire HBO crew had Castillo by 3 to 4 points

                    Who did Calzaghe get gifted against? Ottke is obviously the answer to OP's question.
