Definitely ruiz -parker....lewis - vitali...calzaghe -reid...floyd vs ortiz....abraham vs direll and of course floyd manny....i especially was annoyed when abraham was dq'd...it was his first defeat and i believe completely undeserved.

Harold Johnson vs Willie Pastrano

Calzaghe - hopkins...hamed - barrera

I'm one of the biggest fans of Naseem Hamed, but he clearly lost that fight. He was so greatly outboxed that there could be no room for dispute.

The worst I have seen would include:


Lewis-Holyfield 1


Whitaker-Chavez


Whitaker- Ramirez


Martinez-Cintron which was even worse because Cintron should have been counted out.

Good call.

pac - timmy 1
dlh - tito
dlh - ssm
may - jlc 1
hagler - srl
pea - ramirez
pea - jcc

Those 2 decisions against Sweet Pea Whitaker were a disgrace.

Agreed on these. And I gotta throw in Williams-Lara from 2011. I was a big Williams fan as it was never boring with him throwing so many punches per round, but he lost that fight. Just like in the second Martinez fight, he got caught by a southpaw with the overhand left, but just didn't get knocked down with it that time.

And to answer your second question, the decision wasn't overturned, but the judges for that fight were I believe suspended or suspended from judging any major fights for a long period of time, can anyone confirm this?

Erislandy Lara vs Paul Williams is one of the worst decisions I always go back to. And its one of the few where judges actually got punished it was so bad.

I heard about that but have never actually watched it.



I'm not sure about the judges fate from Martinez-Cintron but I certainly hope there were some kind of repercussions from it. That was just awful and I highly disliked Cintron after that fight. He had the nerve to complain that he was robbed by the scoring. They even took a point away from Martinez for butting (because of Cintrons whining) when replay showed it was a clean punch.



Edit: If you were taking about Whitaker-Chavez I don't recall any official punishment for those Judges but they probably never worked again for any major fights. At least not in the US. One of the judges in the first Lewis-Holyfield fight was investigated I believe.
