Whitaker is usually considered a top 10-20 ATG why?

List the results of your last eye exam.

Forget about a list. All lists are subjective. Whitaker was a superior boxer... The best I've seen. He was a master defensively, great accuracy and work rate, and ring generalship. All the things you want to see in an ATG. At his prime he would beat most if not all the current boxers from LW to MW. Drugs ended his career prematurely but while he was clean he was virtually unbeatable.

This is so ******. He might be the only fighter who gets credit for wins that he didn't actually win. He lost against JCC and ODH, get over it.

Really is that what the official record says?

[Desert Warrior]

Yep, DLH was the cash cow and the crowd went nuts everytime he completely missed his combinations.

Take those decisions in his favor (as I feel he deserves) and many people will have him on in their top 15.

Top 10 I say no. But was a great champion and defensive master.

Using your logic I have ODLH in my top ten

Old?he lost to Oscar at 33 and got dominated by Tito at 35

He meant 'wasnt prime" and 35 is old in boxing specialy if yu use coke like boxers did in those times...

[BennyST]

Who has him in their top 10, or even top 20? I don't see that very often. Top 20 sometimes, but never top 10.
