What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

[drgoodlooking]

It will always be Mayorga-Spinks for me. It robbed Mayorga of his hard earned world titles and ran him out of the Welter weight division. It was a disgusting robbery.

Spinks clearly outpointed Mayorga.

Hernandez-Pacquiao was a big 1

The wrong decisions that Ottke got, have really damaged his legacy.

Because there were quite a few, and Ottke hardly had a crowd pleasing style (Yeah alright the Germans enjoyed it, but they enjoyed Henry Maske and Michalczweski ) people forget, that he was a master of his craft, and despite turning pro very late in his career, he managed to use every ounce of amateur boxing experience he had, to make his career a success.

And it was a success from the financial point of view, it is just Ottke has few fans outside mainland Europe because of his horrid style, and few horrible decisions.

You can't have a legacy when you're job is to throw effective shots at the opponent and you got feathers for fists

No matter how good that D is! It's the one thing I'll challenge BritKid on

Maxie Rosenbloom had as an excellent legacy despite only winning 19 fights on a stoppage in 220 wins.

Jake LaMotta was a light puncher 30 KO's in 83 wins.

Myung Woo Yuh was possibly the finest fighter to come out of Korea, despite being 13-0 with 0 KO wins to his name.

Featherfists does not disqualify you from building an excellent legacy.

Chris Byrd and Dominick Guinn robbed me of $40.00

They fought?

Sorry I was thinking TOS but my mind said Guinn. Probably cause they both put on a similar show. (sleepy)

true, but it stopped ottke

Being featherfisted did not stop Ottke creating a better legacy. What cost him, were them robberies; he already had a boring style of fighting, so that is going to annoy a lot of people, and then when he started getting hometown decisions in his favour, he pissed these people off even more.

That is why Ottke does not get the credit his career deserves, but I am sure he does not care, because he got more money, by making title defences, with a title that should of belonged to other people.

I'm not exactly trying to win the argument (as if I could), any chance I get at bad mouthing Ottke I'm gonna take it

You're a sad human being for defending him brit!

I have little time for him myself, but I do recognise he was no mug, it took a fair fighter to beat him, and no matter what the record books say, most of us know he lost at least a couple of bouts as a pro.

Byron Mitchell shoulda found him in the street after their fight and done something horrible

I have heard that Juarez/Raheem was a pretty good home town score for Juarez.

[luvfightgame]

I have heard that Juarez/Raheem was a pretty good home town score for Juarez.

Mostly the ref prevented Raheem from winning. He got penalized and warned about 100 times for holding when he wasn't really holding. Raheem would pull Juarez into him when he got inside, by the back of the head, and the ref was actually slapping his arms. It was ridiculous. I am not a fan of holding, and I prefer the puncher to the boxer, but the ref was way out of line in that fight. The judges didn't have much of a choice the way the ref was interfering.

[rene69]

Toney/Tiberi for me.

[luvfightgame]

I am gonna have to go with Abraham- Miranda.

Miranda literally made Abraham quit, and the promoter and ref continued the fight. I have seen early stoppages and they never reversed them and let the guys keep fighting, but they did in Germany.

In addition they took 5 points for fouls. That was fixed if there ever was one.
