I think it easily has to be Whittaker Chavez all time, it was such a big fight for boxing and you could make a case that Chavez didn't win a single round.

Draws are horrid. You have the type like Chavez vs Whitaker that are contrasting styles and leave it to interpretation for judges, to respect the smooth boxing and look past just coming forward as being enough.
Then you have a Funeka vs Guzman or a Hopkins vs Pascal that turn really physical as they progress. You can see damage being done, mental and physical on one fighter. One seems to be just 'lasting' out an attack and you just see momentum shifting big time. Fenech vs Nelson 1 ?
You always hear some say "Well at least they didn't call it a loss for him" when speaking of draws. Almost like its a consolation prize but really in an odd way I say F that. Its almost insult to injury to be 'given' a draw when you, fans feel same guy won it. I mean if your going to screw him,just call it what it was and make it more glaring and obvious. Like trying to have it both ways. Put that 'L' on him so he can identify it as full on crap, fans and fighter know thats what it is in the first place. A draw is a win for Pascal last night. Let him see that 'w' on record and know its bullshit. Twisted ,I know. Hopkins lost...time, opportunity, history. There are legit draws...this was not one!
funeka/guzman guzman gets busted up dominated and yet somehow he got a draw. The one that's even more bizarre is Martinez-Cintron, Cintron gets kod but bitches it was a phantom headbutt so gets to continue without losing a point or anything, and then supposedly fought martinez to a draw...it's the kind of shit that makes you hate boxing and you feel the urge to sling something at the the tv.
Casamayor-Santa Cruz wasn't a draw stupid.
And I go with Agapito Sanchez-Manny Pacquiao. Should of been a TKO in favor of Sanchez after Pacquiao quit. Martinez-Cintron out of the ones listed
Side-note: Just noticed the fool left out Martinez-Cintron
Had to go with my immediate thought when I saw the title; Lewis-Holyfield I. Eugenia Williams actually scored this fight for Holyfield, including a round in which Lewis kept Holyfield pinned on the ropes and Holy landed maybe 3 or 4 punches. Oddly, the second fight, a Lewis UD, was much closer, IMHO.
In recent history, John-Juarez I was a head scratcher, as many Juarez decisions have been.
I know I have a very unpopular opinion here but I don’t think you can call robberies fights like Pascal - Hopkins , it was a much more close fight than Dorin – Spadafora for example … Just to mention another bad draw decision.

I really think Whitaker's performance against Chavez was one of the best of his career, Chavez had no idea how to handle him. The result was a travesty of boxing justice, no rematch was even a greater travesty.

If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
Lewis v Holyfield was the biggest robbery for me.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
