I tried to score the fight impartially when I watched it the 2nd time (courtesy of El Gamo) and had JLC winning by a round.

The big controversy was with the lopsided scoring in Mayweather's favor, not so much that JLC won the fight cause it was real close.

A "robbery," would be more along the lines of the Dimitrus Hopkins vs. Steve Forbes fight or even Julio Cesar Chavez being awarded a draw vs. Pernell Whitaker when Whitaker clearly won the fight.
I had JLC winning it by 2,I have seen the fight about 6 or 7 times. I actually enjoyed it! However,as much as I hate to admit it,I agree with FrozenSolid,it was not a robbery. It was a close fight and Mayweather did the right thing by giving JLC a rematch,which again was close but which he won.

I think most people(including myself at times,depending on my mood) tend to wish that JLC had won so over play the fact that the fight was close,making it seem like a robbery. I do feel for JLC though,he was the better fighter that night and that is the best anyone has done v Floyd and I include Oscar in that.
