I still think Cooper beat Bugner in 71' and my father swears Tommy Farr beat Joe Louis in 37'. Have there been other decisions which have made you call out "Fix" or even "Referee that was a tad generous to the champion"

A lot of people agree that it was Emanuel Augustus' fight with Courtney Burton. Aside of the referees calls, the decision by two of the judges for the hometown favorite was way off those of most boxing fans. The judges had it 99-90 and 97-92 for Burton and 98-94 for Augustus (most agreed with that one). The Michigan Commission was disgraced by the results and had an investigation to change things around.

The worst??
The ref allowing Mike Tyson to stay in the ring after he bit Holyfield the FIRST time!!!! What the hell was that??
After I saw that, I lost respect for the the boxing circuit as it has become.
Just a big circus, and it was the one sport I would watch, and even pay to watch on tv.
I was once a big fan of Mike.

When Larry holmes was made to beat on Ali in Ali's last fight. A blind man cd see Ali was defenseless and Holmes stepped back and practically begged the ref to stop it. Many fights between an American and a German in Germany.

I believe that Larry Holmes was ripped off in the 2nd fight with Michael Spinks for sure. I read that Jersey Joe Walcott was ripped off in his first title fight with Joe Louis.

I think it was Ronald 'Winky' Wright vs. Jermain Taylor. How in the hell a boxer land more punches and lose the fight? Also when Wright fought Fernando Vargas. They rob his a** too!

Lewis's draw against Holyfield in the first fight. One of the judges obviously was not watching the fight as she had Lewis behind by three rounds. She was fined heavily so I believe.
