    Eh, anyone can answer, it's a good debate to have.

    I will say, no one clearly won.

    One guy missed a lot, and the other guy refused to throw anything other than a weak jab.

    It's hard to win a fight clearly if you do either of those.

      the first fights I remember watching where Tyson and De La Hoya fights so those were pretty much my first favorite fighters.

        Could've gone either way man, definitely not as wide as the scorecards said.

              Whitaker was landing shots. He landed a left hook early in the fight that left a mark on Oscar face. Oscar nose was bloody. And, Whitaker dropped him. Both fighters try to steal the round at the end. But, Whitaker was doing more damaged. He dropped Oscar. And, Oscar couldn't land anything on Whitaker.

                Nah, it depends what you like. Whitaker's defense trumps Oscar's ineffective aggression, but you can't win without doing ****. I got a give it to the more active Hoya. If I go back and score the fight, I'm sure I'll have him winning.

                  just watching on video (years after they retired) or watching as their career was going on?
