    I agree and never understood why Floyd never fought manny he would have won and his credibility would not have takin the hit it did

    Whitaker had a great chin despite what people think some say he had no chin some say it never got tested both are wrong he was an aggressive defensive fighter who would throw a whole lot of punches he got hit because you can't throw 80 punches a round and not get hit I only saw him wobbled bad once by Mayweather and it took an uppercut when he was on his knees that almost stood him back up to do it

    He had gotten soft by the time he fought the first 2 and as far as Paez goes I agree with part of what you say in that Paez gave him as good of fight as he had in his prime but didn't even come close to making him look clueless he tore Paez up after he figured him out and won most of the early round while he was figuring him out if anything it was Whitaker trying out a new style of fighting that made him look at all awkward he pulvirized Paez to the body all fight and used the uppercut to perfection

    late in his career Whitaker was not fast enough to slip multiple punches and counter like early in his career later it was one or the other He would absolutly punish manny after about round 3 the first three would be close then the fun would start for sweet pea its just the way he fought the better the opponent the longer it took him to get going and figure the guy out but once he did he cruised I give manny 3 rounds tops

    I would not be surprised if Whitaker won 12 rounds.

    Whitaker would dominate throughout and win 9 or 10 out of 12 rounds clearly.

    So, with Whitaker's luck, I'll say majority draw.

    Oh dear, reloaded. Nelson and Pac are alike, are they? What an absolutely crap comparison. You have come out with some absolute howlers and this one is up there.

    Go watch it? I think you should......just take floyd's nuts out of your eye sockets first!
