****** comment de la Hoya beat him easily and he should have lost to Chavez for all the low blows and holding. He was a protected fighter like floyd. With that said, it’s sad to hear that a legend passed like that.

J.C. Chavez catapulted DLH's career not Whitaker.

It wasn't a robbery. The fight was close.

I thought Whitaker didn't let his hands go enough and allowed Oscar to win rounds in the second half of the fight based on activity and work rate.

Yep.

I'd say the Quartey fight was more of a robbery tbh.....
