Diaz-Malignaggi was bad, but seemed to have taken on a life of its own mainly due to Paulie predicting beforehand exactly how it would go down.
I thought Martinez-Cintron was much worse - dude won by knockout and by rounds yet still wound up with a draw.
There was also an ESPN2 fight earlier in the year. I think it was Golden Boy's first card of the year on ESPN2. Chop Chop fought some prospect whose name I can't remember; I just remember the decision being so bad that even Oscar de la Hoya admitted on air that his kid got a gift.
Both of those fights were worse/more corrupt than any of the three listed, esp. Cotto-Clottey which at best (or worst, depending upon your viewpoint) was debatable, but hardly a robbery.
