    Let's discuss Whitaker's close or controversial fights.

    Jose Luis Ramirez 1
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Wilfredo Rivera 1
    Wilfredo Rivera 2 (I don't think it was that close, but judges had it very close)
    Oscar de la Hoya

    The first round of Pernell was close, I scored 7 punches to Pernell and 5 to Ramirez but you could tell the commentators weren`t speaking enough blows were landed by Ramirez.

    The Ramirez fight is the worst decision I've ever seen in a pro fight.

    Chavez was horrible, too. Pernell schooled him.

    They were all just decisions. He should be commended for scoring a draw against the undefeated Chavez.

    I had him winning clearly every fight. I don't get why the first Rivera fight is controversial for many people.
