    DLH won it, black america needs to let it go. This is coming from a big Whitaker fan as well.

      I thought Oscar edged this one but I thought he CLEARLY lost to Quartey. That ones not debatable to me.

        Not at all a robbery, if only Whitaker didn't do all that showboating he would have decisively won.

          Poor Sweet Pea...the Dela Hoya fight is debatable.

          The real crime was the draw against Julio Cesar Chavez...truly one of the worse decisions ever.

          JCC and his record was protected back then...thought Frankie Randall beat him twice also.

          Won't even mention Richard Steal's stoppage against Meldrick Taylor...or the fact that Chavez became a whiny bastard at the end of his career.

            Keep in mind this is a past it Sweet Pea, I believe he did enough to get the nod by a decent margin.

                Sweet pea lost due to showboating more than fighting. Its not that de la Hoya easily won but pea easily gave it away
