True statement. Pernell Whitaker won at least 9 rounds of that fight IMO 10. If you are a hard corps Whitaker fan then 11 but the fight was no where even close, and Meldric Taylor was putting on a boxing clinic with Chavez but a bogus ref and poor info from his corner allowed Chavez to steal a victory, I would see PBF winning this fight, he is a mixture of Pernell (defense not as good but solid) and Meldric (not as fast but very close).
You've got to also look at how many fight Chavez had had, when he fought Taylor and Whitaker - he was by no means prime then!!
He was undefeated going into the both of those fights and had never showed signs of slowing down nor had he fought a mega fight before Taylor, Pernell shut him down in his prime in front of thousands of his fans that stood in shock.
