I haven't watched a ton of Whitaker fights.. off the top of my head, I don't remember if he fought another really good South Paw?
It's hard to decide since they both are lefties to me.

men manny is my fav active fighter, but Sweet pea toys with him for 12 rounds, make him look like a fool......PW is all wrong for manny......WIDEEEEEE UD for pernell........i dont think that ko manny tough.....
I used to watch a lot of Whitakers fights, and ya know, i really disliked him. He just had a style that made other guys look awkward or clumsy. But he had a nice streak and won so many of his fights, he was a very clever fighter.
His defence was very good, i think he would do the same thing to Pac, cuz to this day, i never seen a boxer that can make other boxers look so bad and innefective. So i guess that was his strenght, he was able to "dis-able" many other very good boxers. I was so happy when Oscar knocked him on his ass and took his title.
But his style was so unique, like i said, no boxer i have seen to date can do what SP could. He just confused and used every trick in the book to beat his opponents. And he had many "tricks up his sleeve". I may not have liked the way he fought, but what he did, he did it very, very well. I can't take that away from him. It worked well for him for a long time. And i give him full credit.
