whitaker was a masterful boxer and prob. had arguably the best defense in the history of the sport he made guys look silly in there ..the judges are not there for entertaiment purposes they are there to score a fight so i don't buy the excuse that because of his style he should not be given rnds. that he clearly won especialy the chavez fight which i also considered the worst dec. ever.
I really apreciate this post,it is a really good arguement.
But my piont is that, if I had a hard time keeping my eyes on the man, I,m sure others did as well, right or not.
I also always got the impression tha all he wanted to do in there, was to make a man miss without really wanting to make him pay. There are many Fighters today that have the talent to do that, but but I believe will not, because they learned there lesson from Whitaker. ( no money ).
DelaHoya tried the same thing with Trinadad and was slammed. ( even though he did not look as natural at doing it. )
I also believe that Whitaker got credit for illegal tactics, that he should'nt of. Although I thought he won the Chavez fight, I dont consider it the worst decision even in the last 10 years, much less of all time.

Stop making excuses for MAB loss.
Ok, if MAB had an off night, why didnt he call out PAC for a rematch.
Or if JMM thinks he will beat PAC, why did he outprice himself out asking 1.5 million for rematch.
That rematch was his ticket to stardom and he walk away from it.
I tell u why, its because theyre both CHICKENS, f2ckin cowards.....cluk cluk cluk LOL.............peace :D
With the chicken cluck cluck b*** Sh** aside, I think Pac Man will allways pose problems for Barrera for the simple fact that Barrera has problems with skilled lefties, If Paulie Ayala had any punch, he would of had barrera in a whole lot of trouble, because he landed his left almost at will. Had that been Pacquiao ( more speed + power ), there would have been another result. Barrera is always able to adapt, and will need to, if he is to beat Pacquiao.
JMM on the other hand, had problems with the left hands as well
but, adapted during the fight to almost shut Paquiao out after the first
awful round, and did it somewhat easy after he settled down.
The bottom line is , I believe Paquiao will probably win a rematch with Barrera, and wil definitely lose to JMM. If they can just get the politics out of the way.
Whitaker VS. Chavez
Whitaker VS. Ramirez
Whitaker VS. De Lay Hoya
Whitaker got screwed more from judges then any fighter I've seen. He clearly won these 3 fights. If you check the scorecards on each of these fights, you think Whitaker lost these 3 fights by a mile. We have had too many dirty judges in boxing. Boxing is a dirty sport & it's been dirty for 100 years now & it will continue being dirty in the future. This will never change, we will always have some dirty refs, Judges & promoters.
Whitaker had a terrible, boring, unexiting style that I believe turned off almost anyone who watched him. Including judges. He might of won those fights, but who cares.
