what was the biggest robbery in the last 20 years?

[Bushbaby]

Lara/Punisher.

[NC Uppercut]

De le Hoya vs Sturm was really bad, and I always liked the golden one, but it still stands out. PAC vs Bradley 1 was the most recent robbery of significance

[BOXEO _]

The list need more fights

Foreman vs. Briggs

Mayweather Jr. vs. Castillo

Helenius vs. Chisora

Rios vs. Abril

Cloud vs. Campillo

Lara vs. Williams

Garcia vs. Herrera

Yes, all horrible robberies, too bad they only let you post 10 on the poll.

Santa Cruz vs Casamayor was the most blatant robbery i have ever seen. That was by far the biggest robbery of the last 20 years.


I voted De la Hoya/ Trinidad doe..


by the way Chavez/Whitaker happened more than 20 years ago, Whitaker (even though he should've won) didn't take an L in that fight, it was scored a draw.

Yeah i dont know how i forgot that fight took place in 93! Smh and for some reason i had thout it was sweet pea in. 94 when it was in fact meldrick taylor, go figure lol

But the ring magazine that covered the fight that month had one distinct word on the cover "ROBBED"!! And think it was...

pacquiao-bradley is the worst i've seen

none of those DLH fights were huge robberies imo, bad decions for sure but close competitive fights that the judges got wrong by like 2 rounds.

helenius-chisora was a terrible decision, chisora basically won every minute of every round. even helenius' own promoter admitted it was BS afterwards.

lewis-holyfield is probably the worst all in all since it was not only a terrible decision but on a huge stage in a highly anticipated fight. we talk about black eyes for the sport but that was more like a knife wound.

abril-rios was incredibly hard to score, i think in the end i had abril by a point but a robbery in a fight where most rounds could go either way? when was the last time you guys watched this fight? watch it at all after watching it live? abril had very little activity and how many times was abril just sitting in the pocket clearly getting left hooked in the face and acting like it wasn't landing?

garcia-herrera is another, i had garcia by a point i think, but i feel like if i went back and watched it the end results could be different, this fight has that dilemma, one guy landing powershots, the other more consistent good jabs/weaker shots, on rewatch i might reward herrera more who knows

well, i take back what i said about the abril fight, even i had abril winning, maybe a draw max, but there were alot of close rd's, so i dont really blame the judges

Man, i wonder how rios-abril would have stacked up on the poll against pac-bradley 1?!?!?!?!

I'm still annoyed at jmm vs manny 3. Manny got his ass schooled. Absolute boxing lesson. Manny had no answers. It still blows me away that people have Manny as pound for pound #1 considering he won a controversial decision, lost (a close controversial one) to Bradley, got knocked out, and then beat rios (a bum) and then beat Bradley. He's had a rough stretch. It all started at that gift decision.

(Don't flame me, I'm a Manny fan. I'm just not a Manny delusionist)

That was a historical boxing lesson JMM put on ruined by a cheating score.............To this day I only watched the fight like only 2-3 times because how the decision irritated me............

rios - abril was ridiculous

When i think of robberies this one always comes to mind. It was one of the most blatant robberies of all time but it was a small fight.

Now pac vs Marquez 3 that fight had a lot on the line, a robbery of a much bigger magnitute. Although closer on the score cards than the shut out Abril put on Rios.
