    Whittaker....man he was something else.

    I'm one of the guys that believes he never actually lost

    His evasiveness was just incredible.
    He mastered boxing.

    I like Pacquiao and think he's an ATG, but Pernell's resume is better and if they fought Manny would be soundly beaten

    I used to think Manny was all speed, a little bit of power but had very crude boxing skills. Yet, he did improve and continuously does so every fight after his loss to Morales. That is what is makes him different. It would be unfair to compare both fighters now. Let us wait till Manny retires and judge him then. As it is, Pernell's record and abilities may give him the edge for now. However, if Manny fights Mayweather, JMM (again), Cotto, maybe Mosely and wins convincingly, then there will be no question who has a better resume and who is a better fighter. Hell even if he loses to one of the four mentioned, I would probably cast my vote his (MP) way.

    Whitaker all day, the guy really was something else, for my money, the greatest fighter of the 90s ahead of Roy Jones & that is saying a lot because Jones was amazing. Apart from the Trinidad fight which he clearly lost, but he was shot by then & the following Bojoruez fight when he broke his collar bone (& even then I thought he would of won had that not happened), I think he won every fight of his career. I thought he edged ODLH, although it was close, I got the impression he would have had to have got a near shutout to win, he most DEFINITELY beat JCC & the corruption that robbed him in the Ramirez fight defied belief (even rounds my ass)

    I thought he done pretty good against a prime Felix Trinidad, considering how past his prime he was. I think he won 3 or 4 rounds, and he was able to really hurt Felix Trinidad to the body in round 7. In that fight you see a great older fighter, who lost his reflexes and speed.

    And he had to slug it out and you really see how much heart and how good of a chin, Pernell Whitaker had. And not many people know that Pernell Whitaker actually had a broken jaw aswell.

    I agree, I thought he took 3 rounds, maybe 4 at most, but he still clearly lost. I think if that fight was a year earlier, he wins it, but by then he just wasn't what he once was.

    Yes no doubt thats an unbiased opinion based on your name try watching other fighters other than Manny Pacquiao.
