    Depends on what the controversy was tho.... in this case the controversy was that the only 2 people on earth that didnt have Whitaker winning was the 2 judges that scored it even.

    Nobody scored it for Chavez.

    a lot of people mention his resume as not the best, very good, but lacking the credentials that would list him higher in an all time list.

    What are the reason for this??
    did people duck him? nobody to fight him? bad management??

    i ask out of interest, i want to know because his skill set was incredible!

    He beat anyone around that was worth a ****.

    Jose Luis Ramirez
    Greg Haugen
    Freddie Pendleton
    Azumah Nelson
    Juan Nazario
    Jorge Paez
    Rafael Pineda
    Buddy McGirt
    Julio Cesar Chavez

    and Julio Cesar Vazquez for a 154 title just for shits and giggles (dude who whooped Winky Wright)

    And he deserved a close decision over DLH.

    The thing about Whitaker was that he made JCC and Azumah Nelson (certified ATGs) look ORDINARY.

    true, and to be honest, to be debatin about if a fighter is within the top 10 or top 15 is petty, his accomplishments arent being dissed by any means!!

    Marquez
    Morales x2
    Barrera x2
    Cotto
    Hatton
    De La Hoya

    Clottey
    Diaz
    Solis
    Ledwaba
    Sasakul

    There is no denying that Pacquiao's resume is miles ahead of Whitaker. He's won titles in like a billion divisions.

    Exactly. Disagreeing does not mean dissing.

    :lol:

    If we're including the likes of Diaz and Solis, here's Whitaker's by comparison:

    Chavez (universally agreed upon robbery)
    Nelson
    McGirt X2
    Vasquez
    Mayweather
    Haugen
    Ramirez X2 (the first being another universally agreed upon robbery)
    Pendleton
    Hurtado
    Pineda
    Brazier
    Paez
    Nazario
    Rivera X2 (the first being controversial, admittedly)
    Layne
    Lomeli

    And that's not even including the decision against De La Hoya, which in my mind (along with the majority of others) should've gone to Whitaker. Considering I had Pacquiao going winless in his bouts with Marquez (the best fighter he ever faced), I agree with you that their resumes aren't close, just not in the way you're thinking.:good
