I like Gavilan for the reasons M2S gives, but I don't see this being anything but razor close, even if they fought 100 times.
I don't think Europe has ever had a great defensive stylist, though there have been a few imitators (Graham & Hamed being at the fore). Quite a...
Difference between back then and today: Back then the best called out guys multiple weight divisions above them and didn't fight them. Today...
Maybe. All the same he took some brutal beatings before succumbing to the likes of Tito, Vargas and DLH when they were all at the top of their...
The Antonio Margarito of the 1990s but with a slightly less embarrassing skill set.

Neither - champion. :good One of the best fat fighters of all time.

I thought he gave Tiger and Benvenuti all they could handle too. An excellent fighter who would be in the top handful of fighters p4p going around...
Clean effective punching is the main criterion. DLH handed the two most effective shots of the round, but Whitaker landed quite a few more clean...
One round I score for Whitaker which most people don't (even those that have Whitaker winning the fight) is round 10. I just can't give that round...
Are you trying to justify his bum of the month tour in 97-98?
I don't think Chavez-Whitaker was any closer than Ramirez-Whitaker I. Both were 9-3 to 8-4-ish in nature. I don't think either fight can be...
