Why Do People Like "Sweet Pea" Whitaker Now?

[baya]

its probably because of the rap music.

he's a great fighter. thats for sure. kaynan has an obsession with him.

i really wanted to like them but man... they lack power T_T. if only they have the power on both hands like tyson has or pacman then no question ask they will be the most gifted boxers in history...

Whitaker was much more of a character, showman, personality than Mayweather has been throughout his career. Some of the things Mayweather does to draw attention to himself seem contrived. There's no doubt he's an excellent fighter and all of that, but Whitaker was just more entertaining to watch in the ring.

All of that ducking, behind the back punching, and pulling peoples trunks down stuff....those were just classic Whitaker moments that Mayweather can't re-create.

Floyd will win people over with the way he beats his opponents, not his personality traits.

Only two fighters he fought who were bigger then him, vitali and michael grant.

Reed... Nice seeing you here. That other place is a ****hole. Dumb asses banned me like I care, this place is so much better. That ****hole place you get banned for having a different opinion on fighters. I'm not even going to mention that other website, because they don't deserve the attention. That ****hole place banned like all the users, so it's like wow... No wonder why there wasn't anyone on that forum compared to here.

I never made racist comments, someone on that website called me a dirty N-word though. Was it you?
