That's not an unrealistic conclusion, e.g. Tyson, but that then goes to the argument Chavez was fading by the time he gets to Whitaker.
With the second argument being my opinion forwhatever that may be worth.
As well, Chavez's style wasn't going to be effective agsinst larger opponents. It is easier for boxers, who depend on point counting scoring to move up in weight than for ****ers who need to score KDs and KOs to win.
Personally I believe that those who believe Whitaker won the 'fight' (not the point counting boxing match,) were fooled by the 'anticipation' factor.
Chavez looked like a relentless unstoppable machine before Whitaker. Whitaker proved he could stop that assualt, but Whitaker never ventured into the dangerous territory where it would have been neceassay to stop Chavez.
Whitaker never did more than stop the Chavez assault machine. He didn't defeat it.
The Anticipation Fallacy.
The 'fight' was a draw.
