Just beautiful watching Pernell Whitaker go to the body.

I think in the last to decades this is the only fighter whom would give floyd and Pac fits. I know mayweather went to his camps and looked a lot of his film but sweet pea was a boxing nighmare in his hay day. Just realize he was robbed versus Oscar, Chavez and all the greats that he beat, McGirt, mAYWEATHER AND HE WAS A VICTIM OF BEING TO GOOD IN HIS PRIME.

Floyd had a great left uppercut to the body. He would usually come over the top with the right though= curtains for most.

Greg Haugen went really far for a guy who started out in Toughman competitions.

Haugen should have two wins over Vinny Pazienza, and Pazienza was probably just as good as Hatton, if not better. People laugh at Haugen now, but he was actually pretty damn good and most people have no idea of the names he has on his record. He is mostly laughed at because of the way in which Chavez simply toyed with him while giving him the worst beating he ever had. I think that just showed how good Chavez was. Haugen has names like V. Pazienza, Ray Mancini, gave first loss to the undefeated Hector Camacho, Jimmy Paul (very good champion with many defenses), etc etc. Not bad for a guy that would supposedly make Hatton look like Mayweather Jr.

Good lord, stop posting please. He meant self-ownage cause Castillo was shot to shit when Hatton fought him. That fight was in 2007, a year before you started watching Boxing, and it didn't involve Pacquiao, so you obviously didn't know wtf you were talking about. :buttkick: I gave up on Pacman777, I wonder if its all an act.

He did some great body work on Nelson as well.

tsuyu/castillio..... "Castillio" sounds like a gay nickname for Carmen Basilio- who you probably think is a hollywood actress. LOL And the fact that you listed Castillo is just pure self ownage.

beautiful to watch whitaker. one of the nicest jabs ive ever seen. I agree. But the best jab I'd ever seen in my life belonged to Hector Camacho.

Whitaker was a very underrated body puncher.

well even hatton would look like a star againts haugen, lolz this goes to show that all of you tools with "pac" in your username are complete fukking idiots and dont know shit about boxing. the only thing you know is that manny pacquiao is philippino go jerk off to some pac highlights

I miss Pea. Dude was the shit. :boxing:

:bottle: pfffffffffft You seriously think Hatton would go threw Whitaker's resume undefeated?

Prime for prime WHitaker dusts ices KOs slaughters destroys kills decimates owns Floyd Mayweather Jr Prime for Prime your full of shit...

prime or not, it was the body punches. and he didn't beat chavez, fact. you yourself does not sound like a fan of the sport... pernell is a better boxer than hatton, not a better body puncher thou LOL prime doesnt matter now? Leon Spinks beat Ali so he should be up there with Fraiser right? Many people felt Pea won the fight and Hatton has yet effectively get to the body of a prime elite fighter. Hatton is good but trying to put him up there with Pea is ridiculous. Stronger body puncher..ok ..better body pucnher..not at all. I'm done bro. Your on some other stuff even trying to argue this.

tsuyu/castillio..... Past primes on both and the Chavez win by itself trumps both. I am starting to think you are not really a fan of the sport at all.

Pure class all the way, Pernell is an ATG in every sense of the word.

why the double standard? you saying that haugen is elite, pffffft Chavez.......

Whitaker was not as popular as he should have been early on. In fact most of the 84 Olympians suffered a little backlash. The reason they did was because of ABC and Alex Wallau hyping them as gods. I remember watching their fights and having to turn the sound off to actually enjoy the fights. Taylor suffered the same fate as Whitaker. It was not until well in their pro careers that they got more appreciated. Holyfield is the only one of them who escaped the curse early by becoming too big for ABC early on, so he escaped the stigma. I still remember Alex Wallau and that ex Football player as commentators, and I still shudder from the thought of it. Whitaker was so damn graceful in there though. So fluid and so damn precise. I actually didn't mind them much as commentators, at least from the fights I've watched with them commentating. Dan Diedorf is real respectful of boxers and said he misses doing commentary for boxing. He said something like "I come from a sport where guys are tough, but it's nothing what boxers have to go through."

the guy went to distance with whitaker, hatton would've downed him in 4 rounds. how can you say 'not as effective'? hatton style is of a body puncher, he's more effective he downed tsuyu and castillio with body punches, both fighters are better than haugen by a mile try to accept that whitaker is not all that, hatton can go tru whitakers resume (win fights) undefeated... :lol1::lol1::lol1:

The reason that its not effective is because the second Hatton steps up in class he will have trouble getting to the body. When he is fighting an elite boxer than won't allow the bully tactics Hatton is done. Pea was clever enoght to get to the body no matter how skilled the guy in the other corner is.
