A fight where Taylor is outlanded, out-power punched severely, doesn;t do ANYTHING to take the champs belt from him and never lands a significant punch whatsoever?
A fight where one judge gives him (Taylor) the 12th round that would otherwise make the fight a draw when Hopkins won that round in a WASH?
It was definitely sketch. The only thing that people can say for Taylor is that he "outworked" Hopkins through the first 6-7 rounds...when Hopkins really won about two of those rounds (3&5) with defense and clean power punching.

It wasn't a robbery, but controversial for sure.
Yeah i was thinking this thread was about worst robberies.
I actully agree with you, i just didnt bother changing my post.
Augustus/Burton (certainly one of the most controversial ever)
Augustus/Ward (not so bad but still a back yard decision)
Holmes/Spinks I (some thought "the man" was trying to protect Marcianos record)
Whitaker/Ramirez I (Whitaker should have gone undefeated up until the DLH fight...which was also very close)
Nelson/Fenech I (many thought that Fenech had won it in the closing rounds of the fight...pretty damned close bout though and Nelson SCHOOLED him in the rematch in one of the most masterful boxing performances ever)
Toney/Griffin II (Toney won this by a comfortable margin in my book and in many ringside observers books)
Hearns/Leonard II (Hearns beat the hell out of Ray and only managed to get screwed by the judges)
Gavilan/Graham I (most ringside observers thought Graham had won from what I read)
