      Simply, Pernell Whitaker vs JCC. JCC couldn't land a thing and yet managed to get a DRAW which was weird. Pernell not only outclassed JCC but put a hurtin on him. He landed so many shots to body and left straights

          I actually enjoyed Lampley's theatrics after that fight. Both of the decisions were bad and this is one time I will call it even. I was tempted to say Holyfield -Lewis based on not only the decision, but for Eugina Williams giving round 5 to Holyfield. Holyfield was clearly beaten up in that round. That alone should have had her banned from boxing. But then I thought of Mickey Vann admitting that as a judge he docked Whitaker a point for a low blow. Not only is that against the rules for a judge, but Chavez landed his share of low blows as well. And again the decision was horrible. Of course both fights involved the corrupt team of the WBC, Jose Suliaman,and Don King.

            I thought Holyfield v Lewis was more one sided, but both fights were clear wins for Pernell and Lennox.
            No question.

                  i agree with this.

                    It depends on what you mean by bigger, for the mainstream and casual fans Lewis-Holy was bigger because it was covered worldwide and was the undisputed heavyweight title fight. For boxing fans, sweet pea was the bigger robbery but that fight was no where near as covered as Lewis-Holy. Most boxing fans would say Whitaker-JCC, for the mainstream it's Lewis-Holy.
