If its a close fight it CANT be a robbery. Same with Collazo vs Hatton. I thought Hatton won but I wont argue with people that say Collazo won because I can see where they can give some rounds to Collazo.
The point is that close fights are not robberies they are what they are close fights which have many swing rounds.
Anyone who chooses a fight other than Lewis vs Holyfield is not really being honest with themselves. That is the only real robbery up there, the other fights I consider close and wont argue them either way.
Just thought I'd add my own take to the list.

Is the thread starter serious with these choices?
Whitaker/Chavez was a robbery
Whitaker/Ramirez I was a robbery
Augustus/Burton was a robbery
Brown/Bell more recently was a robbery
Morales/Barrera I was nowhere near being a robbery. I've seen that fight countless times and I've scored it 114-113 Morales every time. I always love to see how people scored the 5th round of that fight.

Eubank/Sherry : Sherry uses his legs and makes Eubank look clumsy, proving that if you force Eubank to come forward he can be very ordinary. I had Sherry winning even before the point deductions, clearly. Eubank was the better man over the 10 rounds, but there is a scoring system in boxing and his stamina sucks.
Eubank/Watson : Watson wins the final six rounds and atleast three of the first six are even. Eubank can barely stay on his feet after eight or nine rounds without Watson even hitting him. Eubank was the better man over the 12 rounds, but there is a scoring system in boxing and his stamina sucks.
Eubank/Thornton : Thornton cuts off the ring and forces Eubank to show his arsenal, but after four rounds Eubank is burned out and Thornton forces him back for the rest of the fight and doesn't allow him to pinch his breaks during rounds. Eubank was the better man over the 12 rounds, but there is a scoring system in boxing and his stamina sucks.
Eubank/Benn 2 : Benn continuously makes Eubank miss, and after six rounds Eubank becomes very clumsy and looks like a bodybuilder trying to box. Benn hits Eubank with a couple of clean, hard shots per round, which was a couple more than Eubank hit Benn with!
Eubank/Rocchigiani : Rocchigani paces himself, allowing Eubank to lead off early, allowing Eubank to throw body shots early and dominate early on. But Rocchigiani's 'peek a boo' style means he hasn't taken too many shots and he proceeds to steal pretty much all of the remaining rounds. Eubank was the better man over the 12 rounds, but there is a scoring system in boxing and his stamina sucks.
Eubank/Amaral : Eubank quite simply took abit of a hammering from the unknown, mediocre Amaral. Eubank poses more than he punches, and was often forced onto the front foot where he looked pitiful at times. Eubank's purse was 750,000£, Amaral's was 25,000£. Eubank lost by miles, sure it may of been more Eubank losing the fight than Amaral winning it but fact is Amaral won by miles.
Eubank/Schommer : The robbery of all robberies. Eubank under estimates Schommer. Eubank neglects his jab and is picked off left, right and centre as Schommer is able to shift just out of range at will and dominates the fight, often reducing Eubank to a fumbling amateur. Schommer was seven or eight rounds up but somehow Eubank gets the decision once again.Last edited by MIKEYTWOFIVE; 06-07-2006, 06:25 PM.

hatton collazo shouldnt be up there, but Hagler v Leonard should.
I agree with Run, when talking about that particular scorecard, but in my opinion, the worst scoring of a fight was done by Jose Gurrera, who scored Hagler Leonard 118-110 in favor of leonard.
Dlh v Trinidad was a robbery, as was Holyfield v Lewis.
