Im glad Whitaker vs Jeff Fenech didn't happen

[Welsh Jon]

Oh, I definitely agree. Fenech was a demon, even more so at 122 I would say. I just thought you gave Fenech a chance based on your previous post, that’s all.

Oops yeah just read it back. Was a pretty bad typo, ended up saying the exact opposite of what I meant to say!

I'd always heard that Whitaker and Camacho were good friends who preferred not to fight each other.

Then why did Pernell mention his name in some of his post fight interviews early in his career?

I don't remember that, but of course it was a long time ago. What I said was hearsay, but I definitely heard it from someone in boxing. Maybe more than once, but I can't recall the sources.

Whitaker is at least top 5 LW AT, Fenech was not a LW, so no way he beats Whitaker and Fenech is one of my All time favorite fighters, but i can't even make an argument for this one even being close, and Yes Fenech definitely beat Nelson and was ripped off,.

Fenech is lucky it didn't.

Never thought about it that way. But I'd have no problem believing it.

Of course Whitaker wouldn't stand and trade with Fenech. He's not that kind of boxer. Speaking of fights being talked about at that time, how come a Whitaker-Camacho fight didn't happen, even though Sweet Pea said after some of this fights that he wanted to face him?

LOL since when did Whitaker ever stand and trade.. he was no fighter, he just tried to outspar opponents and did very well at it. Besides it is a size mismatch. A great featherweight but I am sure Young Griffo, Willie Pep and Abe Attell would destroy him but it would take a few rounds to beat him, it may go the distance but a Griffo or a Pep would rack up so many points it would be a whitewash. Fenech is still a great though.

Sad so much talent between the two. They did achieve so much though
