Oggie it seems like Pernell Whitaker was robbed his whole career, against Chavez, Ramirez, and De La Hoya.
Agreed.
The De La Hoya one was not quite as bad as the others, but I still thought Pernell won the fight comfortably... quite remarkable when you consider he was past his prime and fighting a young, future 6 weight world champion and hall of famer.
His only legit loss that I have seen was his loss against Felix Trinidad and, well, he was WAY past his best then and on a drugs assisted downward spiral.
The man was incredible. At lightweight, I would have never bet against him... and that includes a match with Duran!
