Originally posted by joe strong View PostI'm Canadian & no doubt in my mind there have been more robberies in the US then anywhere else but I could say Holyfield/Valuev but that cancels out as Holyfield was handed a gift draw in one of the biggest robberies every against Lennox. A few Ottke fights against Brewer, Johnson & Byron Mitchell. I'm sure there are more but I don't watch any other weight class other than HW these days. I use to watch all weights. De La Hoya got a gift in the Sturm fight but I won't say Schulz vs Foreman as in my opinion Foreman won a close fight.Every country has robberies & I am taking it that you are from the UK or europe... hahaha! Scott getting counted out at 9 against Chisora is always amusing...
Americans and what not always like to claim Ottke was getting robbery after robbery when it wasn't true. Those fights with Johnson, Mitchell and Brewer were close, but they didn't win. Ottke was the rightful winnner in those fights.
If you want a robbery where Ottke in concerned, look no further than the Reid fight. The ref, Ottke and the judges were all corrupt that night. Hell, even the crowd cheered and supported it when Ottke was announced as the winner at the end. But the other fights are legit.
If I were to list all the corruption that has happened in the US over the years, i'd be here for months. There is just too much to mention.
By the way i'm British.

Originally posted by Patsfan bri View PostI understand that, but you implied that British fighters will get screwed if they fight in the U.S. the point I am trying to make is look how bad the judges were in the degeale/eubank fight . They almost screwed Eubank. That scoring was way off and far worse than fury/ wilder and that fight was in the UK. Point being it doesn’t matter what country, it matters what the judges think they see.
Eastman/Joppy
Lewis/Holyfield
Fury/Wilder
Khan/Peterson
Hatton/Mayweather
Conteh/Muhammed
Are just a few off the top of my head. However, I do acknowledge that Brits get the fairest shake when comparing to other nations. They get ripped off a lot more than we do.
You can't find an American fighter though, that has been ripped off of a decision over in the UK.
