Agreed Pernell Whitaker was amazing and is one of my favorite fighters, IMO he only lost once and that was when he just got out of rehab, and was way past his prime. And that was against a prime Felix Trinidad.
And to me despite Pernell Whitaker losing, which i hate to see. He still showed an iron chin and a great heart. I mean how many people went the distance with a prime Felix Trinidad ?
Its not like Pernell Whitaker was blown away either, he hurt Felix Trinidad badly with a body shot in the 7th round. And if i remember rightly may of technically scored a knockdown, although i can't remember exactly.
And people also don't know Pernell Whitaker had a broken jaw aswell, Pernell Whitaker wasn't just a great boxer. He could slug it out and dig deep and he showed that in quite a few fights.
