    What are some fights where people bashed the winner?

    I'm not talking about controversial decisions but fights where a guy clearly dominated or knocked his opponent out to be met with animosity from the boxing community?
    Just a few I thought of: David Lemieux (He was cheating too big), Tony Bellew (One legged Haye was a warrior Bellew should've just let Haye KO him), Jermall Charlo (J-Rock talking **** for months? Nah Jermall's an ******* for not hugging him.)

        Timothy Bradley vs Manny Pacquiao in the first fight, that decision was a joke and Bradley suffered greatly for it through the backlash...

        I thought Nicholas Walters dominated Sosa and that was a bad draw decision... These were the controversial decision winners...

        When Julio Cesar Chavez knocked out Meldrick Taylor in the waning seconds of round 12 courtesy of referee Richard Steele, it was exhilarating and at the same time deflating... Chavez took Flack, but not from the Mexican fan base... A very controversial KO there...

          Wladimir Klitschko......... VS (every heavyweight for 10 years)

          Admittedly he's become bothersomely gunshy in recent years but even when he was sitting on a 90% KO ratio people would just respond to his wins by lamenting the demise of American boxing at the hands of evil foreign giants. Nothing he did ever made anyone happy.

            After Matthysse knocked out Peterson a lot of people were saying Danny looked scared when the camera panned to him. They said Danny would never fight him. After he beat him people still bashed him

              Yeah Danny got a lot of hate for everything he did.

                I was never a fan of his style but I never understood why they hated on him for winning so much.

                  Floyd Money Mayweather vs almost all opponents. Haters talk up the opponents and say stuff like Floyd was scared, a coward, will get knocked out, etc... then after Floyd wins they call it a cherry pick, shoulder doe, gloves, ref, bought judges, etc... anything to diminish the wins.

                    Honestly when I saw it though I felt bad for Taylor. He had it in the bag but the ref probably bet a lot of money on Chavez.
