Ten of the Worst Robberies in the History of Boxing

[Chino]

Evander Holyfield vs Lennox Lewis 1

[El Kabong]

Evander Holyfield vs Lennox Lewis 1

And ALMOST 2....I thought Evander did MUCH better in the rematch and the stats prove that out, but not a "robbery" just figured I'd give a shoutout to the more competitive of the two matches.


De la Hoya - Trinidad
De la Hoya - Mosley 2...at the VERY least Oscar won the rematch watch the fight, look at the stats, how it's any other way just shows you the judging is imperfect

Not sure if it is a robbery, but I thought Whitaker beat Chavez. It wasn’t the most blatant robbery, but difficult for me to see that one being a draw.

I thought Hagler beat Leonard pretty bad in that fight. Leonard has his moments, but they were not consistent, especially throughout the round itself.

I feel that BHop won both fights vs Jermain Taylor and thought at worst he deserved a draw vs Calzaghe. His style had become “boring” by then, and he tended to try and shut the other guy’s offense down and do just enough to steal the round. That being said, I felt he beat both of those guys.

Oscar vs Tito was pretty bad. I like Tito, and think the weight hurt him in that one, but Oscar won that night.

I’m a huge Evander fan. I thought he lost the first fight to Lewis, but thought he won the rematch. He lost one and drew one with Ruiz and I thought he deserved both of those. He outright lost one to Ruiz as well.

I thought Gatti deserved at least one of those fights vs Robinson.

Jeff Fenech won the first fight vs Azumah Nelson.

[Primo Carnera]

I’m gonna go with some amateur bouts.
1984 - Tyrell Biggs v Francesco Damiani
1988 - Roy Jones Jr. V the Korean guy
2012 - Savón v Joshua
2012 - Cammarelle v Joshua

@El Kabong Lyle knows that the reason I said that is because somebody asked him for sources on another thread. I was just doing a parody of that. Lyle please fill in Primo car near about this stuff so that we don't have another inadvertent scenario
