whitakers an all time great in my book. unbeatable at lightweight. beat the number 1 man at the time buddy mcgirt twice at welterweight. pushed de la hoya close in 97 when past his prime and stood up to the big punches of trinidad for 12 rounds when way past his prime. check his lightweight bouts for whitaker at his absolute peak. i particularly enjoyed the defence against azumah nelson an all time great. at that weight whitaker never got hit never mind lose a round
