    Your favorite Pernell Whitaker fight?

    Out of respect to one of the best boxers in recent times which fights from Whitaker did you find most enjoyable to watch?

    Always loved watching Whitaker do work against Greg Haugen and Jose Luis Ramirez rematch.
    His fight against Roger Mayweather and Buddy McGirt was also very entertaining.

    The Chavez fight.

    At first i had it a draw like the judges but after rewatching i agreed that Sweet Pea deserved the victory.

      The fights with Ramirez. One of the most outrageously bad scorecards I ever saw corrected in exciting fashion the next fight.

      The Chavez fight was my next favorite.

        Still can’t get over how much they ripped off Whitaker from making history as being the first man to give Chavez his first loss. He outboxed Chavez on the outside and even outfought him up close. There should have been a rematch.

            Yeah man. The Ramirez and Chavez draws were 2 of the worst scorecards ever seen. He thoroughly dominated both men.

            The Sports Illustrated cover with Robbed on it was unforgettable.

              The Chavez robbery, Whittaker clearly won that fight and it was arguably his finest performance. Even the pro-Chavez crowd recognised who had won that fight...

                  Julie Cesar Chavez. The silence of the crowd spoke volumes.

                    The Ramirez and Chavez fights as everyone has mentioned. His fight with Roger Mayweather was a ton of fun as well.
