Re: Historic Robberies...
That decision was terrible. Watching a 48 year old fat guy who clearly lacks fitness across broad time and modal domains go like that in the 12th is still impressive as hell.Blaidd Drwg wrote:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuMr3V2cwLk[/youtube]

Re: Historic Robberies...
I feel like I'm being set up.
I'd like to go with Meldrick Taylor vs Julio Cesar Chavez I.
Robbery by ref.
Actually, no I don't. The ref did his job, regardless of the time remaining.

Re: Historic Robberies...
It was a little bit of a set up...
All Leonard decisions against my fav. fighters are suspect. I just can't stand the guy, but..I can see the judges point. Skill plus Heart is hard to turn down.

Re: Historic Robberies...
Hearns vs Leonard 2 was a bad one.
I actually think we have potential to see a similar style robbery in Mayweather's next fight against Robert Guerrero, who is going to bring it and make it a rough and tough fight. Mayweather's legs aren't really there like they used to be, but it'll be tough to beat him in a decision without it being a complete wipe out.
Pacquiao's "loss" to Timothy Bradley was pretty bad. Nobody gives a shit about Bradley and nobody with an IQ thinks he actually beat Pacquiao.
Hearns' problem was that he was/is a fucking idiot.
Some other thoughts:
Mayweather vs Castillo I
Casamayor vs Santa Cruz
Holyfield vs Lewis I
RJJ vs that Korean Guy who shall not be named in the '88 Olympics may be the worst robbery at any level of boxing.

Two out of three judges didn't appreciate the clinic Pea gave.
Whitaker/De La Hoya is up there too.
