    Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a nuthugger of the highest order.

    Anyway, I hope some one else enjoys this trip down memory lane, with some photographs from Whitaker's career.

    It plays best in full screen, even though youtube has diminished the quality on some of the photos:

    **** off Hugger.

    In all seriousness, I'm not a big fan on videos compiled exclusively with photographs. That being said, I appreciate this effort.

    That was actually pretty good and I'm not a big Pernell fan or a fan of videos compiled of nothing but photos. By the way I haven't forgot to re-watch the first Whitaker-Rivera fight, I just need the time and patience to watch that stink fest.:yep Maybe on Saturday I will have the scorecard for you.

    Appreciated. If you can't be bothered watching Rivera-Whitaker that's cool, but if you can then all the better.:good

    SS. i'm drunk as it comes at this moment but Whitaker gives off that air of superiority more than any other fighter i've known, but without arrogance, what a boxer.

    You just nailed it, BANG, nail in, call the builders off, job done, haha.

    This is a great thread because this is a subject matter i can never get tired of, 'he's the best and he knows it' what a great great boxer.

    Here's the video you all might remember from a while back that The Wanderer made. It's great because the lyrics of the song fit perfectly into his whole reasoning behind the tribute. It's always Whitaker that stands out most to me on here and really strikes me as if he just knows he's better than whoever is in front of him.
