One of the greatest defensive boxers of all time, a top ten lock at welter, almost unhittable at his peak, pinpoint punches with near perfect technique. Why would you want to preface that with "goofie"?
He is referring to Lance "Mount" Whitaker, heavyweight fringe contender. Big and strong and lost all the big fights.
I remember that in early 2000's Whitaker was in all TOP-10 HW rankings for a short period. Despite his funny nickname, Whitaker was decent HW with not so bad resume. He scored wins over aged Alex Stewart, unbeaten prospects Monte Barret and Robert Davis, future HW WBC champion Oleg Maskaev, former cruiser champ Al Cole, Friday Ahunanya. He was slow, with slow arms, but had the size and power. In his career-defining fights he got beaten by McCline (who also beat Grant and Briggs that year), and KO'd by Krasniqi. He's better than some boxers who got title shot somehow (like Leapai, Charr or Audley).
If Wilder will stop Stiverne, I will still rank Whitaker over him. Haymon will have to retain his bribing at higher level and consistently in order to make me consider swapping them. Overall , hype nd sh!t esaid , Whitaker iz vry klows 2 Wlad , heving fot e beter opozishen overol , heving bin stopt ze seim emaunt of taims and geting dropt les friqwently .
