    Whitaker vs Black Mamba. How come no one talks about it?

    I mean, how great was it? A lot of drama and action in this fight. Both guys trade KD's, ref gets punched on the face and Whitaker's attempt to pull Mayweather's trunks down after they're already down. It was awesome watching Sweet Pea duke it out vs the bigger guy too.

    There's the bit where P-Whit gets hurt and he does some of the best unorthodox head movement I've ever seen. I really enjoyed the fight. The ref has a great chin too, just took it like a champ.

      Not only does he have a good chin but the ref'ed the fight perfectly too.

      That's when I wish I could turn the clock back and be in ******ia then instead of now...

          Yet when a thread pops up about great fights I personally never see this one being mentioned.

              Both this fight and the second Chavez fight show how good Roger Mayweather was of a fighter.

              Great talent, if he had a better chin he could have gone really far.

              That said, what he achieved as a fighter was still very good.

                Whitaker is the man. Top 20 ATG. Hurtado fight was mind blowing.

                  Roger vs Vinny Paz is also one of my faves from back then....
                  This was my favorite era of boxing...

                  Remember Donald Curry ko'ing everyone with one punch

                    With some punches after the bell by Whitaker and Mayweather punching while Whitaker's down.
