As for Whitaker-Taylor... I felt Taylor was beating Chavez a lot more so than WHitaker was. He beat Chavez every single round, and I felt he looked a lot more impressive against Chavez, except the fact he got knocked out.
I don't think Meldrick Taylor was beating Julio Cesar Chavez better than Pernell Whitaker was i think Julio Cesar Chavez won more rounds than he got credit for........

And gave Meldrick Taylor a bad physical beating even though he was losing the rounds he was doing far more damage.......

Meldrick Taylor may have won more rounds than Pernell Whitaker did against Julio Cear Chavez depending on how you scored it but i thought Meldrick Taylor fought a silly tactical fight when he could have easily outboxed Julio Cesar Chavez......

And that goes back to what i said earlier with Pernell Whitaker having better boxing brain that Meldrick Taylor and didn't let his pride take over unlike Meldrick Taylor did many times.

Meldrick boxed a lot more then he was given credit for. I hate this RJJ and Mayweather get credit taken away because they box safely, while guys like Taylor who do what people ask, he boxes, but he doesn't run away he is considered to have used the wrong strategy. Meldrick used great movement in that fight, his defense was great in that fight, but Chavez hits anyone he fights, he hit Whitaker a lot of times, he hit everyone.
