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.
