I have watched that fight like a gajillion times and probably scored it a good 7 or 8 times. I have had it wide for de la Hoya, wide for Whitaker, close for both guys and a draw. It really depends on what you watch specifically for each time. I feel though, in my heart, that de la Hoya won it closely.Comment

The Ring had it like this at the end of 1996:
1996
- Roy Jones Jr.
- Oscar De La Hoya
- Pernell Whitaker
- Felix Trinidad
- Ricardo Lopez
- Junior Jones
- Kostya Tszyu
- Terry Norris
- Evander Holyfield
- Mark Johnson
I don't know what it was exactly before Whitaker-DLH. Jones had been DQ'd against Griffin and Whitaker struggled pretty bad against Hurtado.
There might've been some slight changes but I doubt they dropped Whitaker that much despite the tough bout.Comment

SweetPea Won that fight
Ring Generalship won this fight for Sweetpea. He made Oscar look lost and amatuerish. The Hopkins/Calzaghe fight was kind of similiar. Sweetpea got the early knockdown, Hopkins got the early knockdown against Calzaghe as well, but lost on the scorecards.Comment

but he did'nt did he when u use ring generalship u have to make it clear to the judges what u are doing Whitaker fought like he did'nt wanna lose but not like he wanted to win
a good example of ring generalship is how Griffin beat ToneyComment

He also struggled with Rivera in two fights, and had been abusing drugs and alcohol well before the De La Hoya fight. He was a faded fighter, but a tough test all the same.The Ring had it like this at the end of 1996:

- Roy Jones Jr.
- Oscar De La Hoya
- Pernell Whitaker
