    ..one thing I do know is that Fenech was on a streak...and he had that little something...naturally Whitaker was Whitaker 'and' a natural lightweight...'but'...that mongrel and tenacity that Fenech had back then can't be discounted...and he was a master at cutting off the ring..

    So your saying Fenech at lightweight would lose to a Middleweight in Roy Jones Jr??

    I think your are onto something :patsch

    It sure was. KO and Ring magazine were begging for it at one stage and it looked as though it may happen if Fenech beat Nelson.

    that doesn't sound like jeff never had a chance to me.

    besides, mijares was suppose to school vic and make him look amateurish at best.
    jones jnr was suppose to be so far ahead of green that danny wouldn't be able to land a punch.
    if jeff got the win like he should have and then fought, i think pernell's team would be far from overly confident.

    C'mon buster.......I admire your loyalty mate but Pernell was on top of his game back then as well. Sure it wasn't going to a walk in the park but no one was slicker than sweet pea in the whole boxing world at that time. I was a huge Fenech fan but when they spoke about that proposed bout I couldn't see a way he could possibly win. If ya get a chance you should watch the Whittaker v Nelson fight. Not only was it a beauty but it will show you also how good sweet pea was in his prime.

    if it was going to be so one-sided, people wouldn't have insisted it be made imo.

    I think it was a case of the boxing writers tryin' to come up with a opponent who could be any sort of threat to the untouchable Sweet Pea...and Fenech had the style that couldv'e been effective against the super 'cute' Whitaker...

    Just like Dark said it was a highly touted superfight in the making that Fenech was denied due to the bull**** robbery in the 1st fight. But he did get a 2nd chance at it but ran into a different Azumah in the rematch. Nelson go the shot but ran into a prime sweat pea who at the time was unbeatable.
