    In your list of the best h2h fighters, does Whitaker make your Top Ten?

    I assume at his best weight, lightweight? He's quite possibly a top-10 h2h fighter but it's really hard to say, given the lack of elite opposition.

    I'd assume most would feel he's at his best at LW so I agree there.

    I've noticed you're a big Chavez fan ;) Why so much hate for him?

    I don't hate any fighter.. Every man with the courage to be on a boxing ring deserve respect.but chavez is overrated his record was inflated by taxi drivers and tomato cans his first 30-0 was a total joke

    If you want to talk overrated, look no further than your idol Mike Tyson

    What about his record from championship level onwards? From 1984 to 1993 he was a pretty great fighter, wasn't he?

    Obviously he effectively lost to Whitaker in 1993 but was arguably past his best by then. Prior to that though he was a fantastically dominant champion. Just wondering what your thoughts are on that part of his career.

    You've not really answered my question about the preceding 9 years that Chavez was a champion and what you think of him as a fighter during that period. Just trying to understand why you're so quick to denigrate Chavez and not acknowledge his successes during his prime.

    Taylor was damaged goods by then, shot cpunch resistance from the prior losses/beatings he took

    I'm not a nut job so I don't have a top 10 h2h anything, but if I was he'd be put up for consideration.

    I'd probably slot him in just before Mayweather, but a little bit ahead of Jones Jr.

    To me Sweet Pea at 135 is an absolute nightmare head-to-head for anyone, pound-for-pound.

    I don’t know who I’d rate higher honestly.
