The Five All Time Worst Boxing Decisions

[Britkid]

Number one on my list is Lewis Holyfield I. Surprised that was not included.

Personally, I like the fact the author did not include that fight.

Yes, Lewis did deserve the decision, but he fought a very safety first fight in the opponents home country, and history says, normally that leads to disappointment.

For what ever reason, the fight became (the latest) final straw for poor decisions, and it was investigated. But remember right or wrong, the British judge had the fight even, maybe the fight like say Leonard/HearnsII was a damning indictment of ten point must, rather than the judges?

Call it whatever you want, it was a terrible decision. Yes, lewis was cautious, but he boxed beautifully for a big man. No I would say it was a damning indictment of the judges, whatever scoring system you use, it was Lewis all the way.

But I would say it was not a terrible decision, merely a poor one, I had Lewis winning, but by two rounds, so I could understand, but not necessarily agree with a drawn verdict, particularly as the fight was in the USA.

Really? I thought Lewis dominated the fight. Anyways, it's ancient history. cheers mate.

Hey, it is ten years or so old, hardly ancient history, you young Turk!

Ha ha, I checked your profile, I'm a lot older than you. I guess I'm not really interested in debating whether it was a terrible decision , or merely a poor one. Naturally I am probably somewhat biased by the fact that it was a Canadian that was robbed.

As a Brit, (as you may of guessed), I think we both can safely say Lewis was Jamaican, and our arguments are thus unbiased!

Lewis was hugely popular in Canada. Probably most Canadian fans, including myself, didn't really know his birthplace and childhood, and thought of him as a Canadian who moved to Britain to make a better dollar.

I was in the sports bar the size of a freaking barn that night, and it was packed to the rafters with guys that were pumped for the fight. There was a lot of unhappy people let me tell you.

I would agree, the same went for Britain, but anyone who anything about boxing, knew the victory over Briggs gave him lineage, thus he defended against Holyfield, in a fight many thought he won, and even in 1999 most sports fans were boxing smart, and knew the score, literally and figuratively.

Hatton robbing Callazo should be included. As well as Marquez being robbed twice against Pacquaio

Marquez was not robbed twice against Pacquiao. They were two close fights with lots of close rounds that could have gone either way.

Tell me your scorecard, could do with a laugh.

golatavsbyrd-golatavsruiz-golata-won-both.

Yeah, Golota Ruiz was a real robbery...

Forrest - Quartey (Quartey clearly won this one)

Leonard - Hagler...any persons who knows boxing will score it for Hagler...other, those who never entered in a gym will score Leonard. but this not a robbery :-)

but still, LEwis Holifield 1 was the bigger robbery I ever witnessed apart from Chavez - Whitaker

[holmcall]

Walcott-Louis #1

Lewis-Holyfield #1

Briggs-Foreman--unreal

Pintor-Zarate

[holmcall]

And the worse of all tiime: Tiberi-Toney. Are you kidding me?
