DLH has been involved in some decisions, which it could be argued, could of gone for/against him... That is what is known as a disputed decision.
A robbery is a fight that clearly was won by the fighter who lost, with minimal/no doubt for debate.
Hearns/LeonardII; Hagler/Leonard; DLH/Strum, DLH/MosleyII, Hatton/Calloza are disputed decisions.
Ramirez/WhitakerI; Lewis/HolyfieldI are robberies...
IMO

I didnt think that Hatton/Calloza was disputed as it was just to close. You could make a case for either fighter for the win.

So some people dispute the decision, because they believe Collazo edged it? ;)

My second pick would have to be Hagler-Leonard , Hagler won that fight hands down....Itr really disappointed me as a young boxer and a fan to hear him quit in the post fight interview....That was a great fighter that did not let the corruption get to where it was going to corrupt him....
Last but not least, I think Hearns-Leonard II(The last fight between them)....Hearns knocks down leonard 4 or 5 times in the fight and the fight still ends up a draw.....Making Leonard the luckiest man in boxing history....I really hated him after that fight...

I will give you a cool click for ODH vs Sturm. Sturm won that fight in solid fashion. Hagler and Leonard only fought once not twice but you have it as a second fight. And Hearns knocked Leonard down twice in the second meeting, Hearns should have won but they were out of their primes by then and fighting only on legacy
Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.
Thnx Brandon for noticing that, I actually had it written wrong the first time and had hears where hagler's name is and forgot to remove the (II) afterwards....
I thought Tommy knocked Leonard down 4 times withing like 3-5 rounds that fight....It has been a long time since that fight though and I am only going off of what I can remember...
Thnx for the props also...
