Whitaker clearly won this fight but the difference between what Whitaker did, and what Mayweather did in the Canelo fight was vast. Whitaker fought on the inside and landed hard shots to the head and body.
Mayweather stayed on the outside. He didn't punch hard at all. He missed many punches or just tapped the gloves. He didn't hit Canelo hard enough to wake up a sleeping three year old. Whitaker hit Chavez hard. Chavez just had an awesome chin.
Mayweather really schooled Ginger that fight. He showed how to make a lot of money and not really fight too hard. Mostly run and fool multitudes of people doing it.

There are only two parties: the Latinos and, and, and... With a single exception...

I thought Whitiker won but i don't have it as lopsided as some do. Whitikers downfall also came around the same age Chavez was in there fight. Interesting aint it.

Both guys hit their opponents hard and neither guy was able to knock Chavez/Canelo out because of their lack of power.

Same goes for the canelo floyd fight.

Originally posted by Halls of Fame View PostNothing about this fight was clear. I do not know how that myth survived that it was a highway robbery. It was a very close and I mean VERY close fight with very close rounds.
If Whitaker had been deducted a point or 2 (which he should have) then we can make a case for a close fight.
