[Poet682006]

Its more shameful than the Panama Lewis incident since Tito's dad is an accomplice

Substanciate the claim or it never happend

idk man. how could sum1 assess that defensive fighter A is better than defensive fighter B...

any criteria?boxers arent like gymnastics where u can judge sum1 by the degree of difficulty of the move exhibited by the athlete... oh he moves his heda this way so he is better. oh he slids that way so he is better.

in what ****ing way u assess it...

Good question, I don't know...too much to look at. Counter punching and defense go hand in hand, some people forget that.

IMO Whitaker never lost a fight until Trinidad. Maybe Rivera it was close...

But, that is why IMO Whitaker defense was better cuz he proved it by really schooling the best of his era...

Agreed. I had Oscar beating Pernell due to his activity and Pernells lack of it. Rivera couldve went either way

Tough one but for now I say Pac will take it. he appears to actually do better against southpaws and pernell excels at aticipating orthodox fighters. If all else Pernell won't have the speed/reflex advantage he's accustomed to and we all know once pac starts to connect it will add up and quickly!

Trinidad using plaster is a lie

Indeed youre so correct. Using the plaster, his career was all a lie

Manny's speed, angles, and rhythm will give Whitaker problems and because of his power Manny will be in the fight from bell to bell. If Whitaker at any point during the fight relaxes his D, he could get caught with a big one.

Whitaker clowned on guys that were much slower than him. If he fought Manny prime for prime, he would have to work every round. There would be no time to clown.

Manny wins based on speed, angles and combination punching. Whitaker might dodge the first 2 or 3 punches, but the 4th, 5th, and 6th will land.

Manny by late KO in a close fight.

Too many credible links to list

You can't post one cuz there is none... Tito never had plaster.

Is a prime WW De La Hoya (the Oscar of ten years ago) as powerful and fast as Pac is now? An old Whitaker gave him hell and didn't get hit, let alone hurt.

Pac wouldn't hurt or KO Whitaker. It would be a good, maybe even close, fight but Whitaker would take it via UD.

Bad style match up for the Pacman.
