Oscar beat Paez and Rivera way more convincingly than Whitaker did, he also beat Camacho who Whitaker ducked relentlessly and John John Molina, who was then top 10 p4p material imo. Quartey he also beat. Whitaker would lose to Quartey in all likelihood, since Quartey's jab was so good Whitaker could not establish his own. Quartey was also stronger and arguably faster and had more power.

You need too look at the early 90's aswell as the later years,you need too stop your ridiculous agenda,and you really need too stop using triangle theories

They are not triangle theories, lol! Just comparing their respective performances against various opponents. If you look past all the overblown hype of Whitaker by the US writers, you'll see that Oscar was just a more complete and overall stronger fighter. 147 wasn't his best weight even, he was best at 135, but he still made many impressive performances at 147. Which is more than can be said for Whitaker, whose 147 career is marred with controversy. 3 disputed decisions, 2 vs Rivera and 1 against McGirt, and being dominated by a virtual unknown (Hurtado) before a last minute salvation.

Where did I say that? I never said that. And here's that Haugen quote. Can't post the link coz this site obviously DISAPPROVES of that site, for some reason.

You said, "And even that was disputied " When referring to his 'win' over Chavez. Is that not trying to imply he didn't win?

Are you seriously gonna claim he didn't have ANY moments against Pernell??

He had a few moments with Pernell, not many, really.

I would argue he probably had more with Chavez. Whitaker dominated Mayweather.

In terms of skills, I think that Ricardo Lopez was the best in the 90's.

IMO he's the most technically, fundamentally, perfectly, skilled fighter of my lifetime.

But, in terms of greatness it will be Whitaker, with Roy Jones being a close #2 for the 90's.

LOL @ Oscar being the GOAT at WW or even top 10 P4P for the whole decade.

Mayweather had him in trouble in the last 2 rounds obviously. Pea started strong but finished weak.
