Holyfield was the only one willing to exchange.
And I think Holy's punches were generally more effective. Hey.....but it is boxing and inteligent minds will differ.
Seriously, cautiousness aside, as a neutral, I can't see Holyfiled winning more than 3 rounds in the first fight

That was a robbery. Just not the biggest of all time. But a robbery none the less.
It was a robbery despite the fact....3 judges.....HBO.....and skysports all scored it to Hatton.
Were you born a muppet? or was it something you learnt?
you're obviously vision impaired...so I will forgive you for calling "THE HULK" a muppet......but I cannot forgive the fact that you honestly think Hatton won that fight....I can't believe this...I'm going to give you a sc before Violent Demise....and your first one at that....welcome......:)

Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
Winky Wright vs Fernando Vargas ??? Wow! Winky beat him in the ground, hurt him several times, busted him up badly, bulled him around, pulled the rug out from under vargas.............and the winner....Fernannnndooo Vargasssss ??? What ??? That one was pretty classless IMO.
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
Yes it annoyed me I thought Wright pissed it
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
Not seen the whole fight but my brother said it was Laughable... literally.

Wright won it hands down, in my opinion.
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
There was one fighter I know who shall remain nameless, who took 500 tickets for the Bruno v Witherspoon fight ringsides and knocked the Promotors for the money. that was robbery, He got 3 years.

Yup, I gotta be with Big H on this one, Holyfield was in no way the winner from my POV, but as our esteemed colleague said, intelligent minds will differ, though I hardly claim to be an intelligent mind.
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
I respect everybody's quote but damn Penell Whitaker won 10 out of 12 rounds in that fight. Lewis won 8 out of the 12 against Evander. A step below
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
Foreman-Briggs
Hagler-Leonard
Hearns-Leonard II
Camacho-Rosario
Wright-Vargas
DLH-Sturm
DLH-Trinidad
Whitaker-Chavez
Whitaker-Ramirez
Lewis-Holyfield I
Hagler-Antuofermo I
Louis-Walcott I
Ali-Norton III
Those are just the painfully obvious robberies. There are many others that I just didn't agree with at all, like Mancini-Camacho, Duran-Camacho I, Hearns-Barkley II, DLH-Whitaker, DLH-Quartey, and Pazienza-Rosenblatt II, that were certainly close but not outright robberies.
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
I'm putting this one out there because it's the last one I've seen and very well could be the worst......
I remember some of you that saw it commented on it.....
Silverio Ortiz (16-8) getting robbed against David Diaz (21-1-1) at the time.
This was a robbery in broad daylight in Downtown L.A. >:mad
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
Whitaker-Chavez comes to mind
Whitaker dominated down the stretch, quieting the pro-Chavez crowd in San Antonio. even the Mexican Crowd was shocked when the fight was ruled a Maj draw.
Anytime a fight goes the full 12 anything can happen. Often the fighter with the best promoter wins in these cases !
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
Biggest robbery?
Augustus vs. Burton
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
