    Where does Ward Kovalev rank in the all time robberies list?

    I have it on par with Pac Bradley 1 IMO

    Not that bad. I still didn't feel Ward won enough rounds to win, but there has been far worse.

    As for Bradley v Pac 1, that was actually a close fight in the end. I think Pacquiao won but watch it without the biased HBO commentary who were calling shots landed for Pac that clearly missed and it was seriously close, especially when Bradley won a lot of the later rounds. I still think the overall decision was wrong, but it was a lot closer than some want to admit. Pac easily won the other fights with Bradley though.

      It's not as bad as pac Bradley 1 but it's a blatant robbery reguardless I would put it top 5, ward didn't win 7 rounds no matter how you cut it.

        Ha, not even close to paq/bradley one. Paq obviously won that fight. Kovalev/Ward was a very close fight and I cant argue with anyone that picks Ward although I though Kovalev won.

            In recent years: top 5- mainly due to the magnitude of the fight.

                I thought Kovalev defeated Ward but it wasn't a robbery, get over it.

                There were only two or maybe three robberies in 2016 in world title fights that I can recall. Badou Jack was robbed of victory against Lucian Bute, Fedor Chudinov was robbed blind by Felix Sturm and Liborio Solis was borderline robbed against Jamie McDonnell. The non-world title fight robbery of 2016 that springs to mind was Marcus Brown robbing Kalajdzic.
