Oscar was good but not quite great

[BmoreBrawler]

What fights have you seen him in? Besides DLH,Chavez,Nelson,Trinidad?

Not DLH, but yes in Nelson, Trinidad, Chavez. I have basically been avoiding him because of his reputation, not because I hate him. If I am going to watch old fights that I know the outcome of it better be a 5 star fight!

Agreed, same with Floyd

I like watching both guys but some people aren't into that style, personally i like all styles of boxing whether it be a slugfest or a chess match

People probably appreciate Froch's style more than Whitaker's.........sad really.

I just seen your fav fighters list. I dont think you could appreciate a Whitaker performance. I like watching Whitaker and Chavez etc.

All styles.

I can appreciate how difficult it is to do because I have boxed, but I just don't find it entertaining.

People tell me the same thing with soccer. I played it for 10 years but I don't like watching it so somehow I don't appreciate it.

You would not want to study someone like Whitaker to improve your defensive/ counter punching skills? Whitaker is a more aggressive fighter than Mayweather. His fights with McGirt,Roger Mayweather,Haugen,Brazier,Cordona.

Some fighters dictate fights with aggression or activity others control the distance and dictate the fight with their superior technical ability.

Watching Football is not as exciting as playing it.

Of course I would, and I train in a gym that is all about stick and moving. You are right that he is more aggressive than Mayweather, which I respect. Fighters like Whitaker and Malinaggi have to work around their lack of power, and they do the best they can with what they have. Personally, I don't have great reach so I have to fight inside more. I just enjoy fights where the surprise KO is always in the back of your mind more.

You would deffo learn a lot from watching a prime Whitaker then. He was short to and he was the best inside fighter ive seen since a prime Roberto Duran. Whitaker was great defensively and offensively fighting in the pocket.
