    Somebody ban this ****ing idiot.

    I feel that JCC and Nelson were his best.

    JCC.

    Making an ATG look foolish and slow makes this his best for me.

    HAHA have you seen the ****ing fight? Whitaker won and deserved the nod but it was not "domination". Whitaker was simply better and won more rounds but he got hit plenty.

    I gave Chavez 1 round.. you can make a case for 2. Erm that's a domination. Your not one of the wako judges sons are you ?

    The early rounds were way too close to call it a domination and could be given to either guy. Whitaker did not start coming on till the end. I scored the fight 8-4, maybe 9-3 but even then it was not like he dominated any particular round. The fight was only a "domination" in the sense that he won so much more rounds than Chavez, do you get what I mean?

    Well it was to me, JCC had an iron jaw, especially at 135, there was no way Sweet pea was going to be smacking him around the ring, he worked his jab and gave him a schooling. IMO.

    Got to be JCC because of the opposistion and the way he took charge of the fight in a hostile arena. Draw was a joke.

    You obviously have't "seen the ****ing fight" if you think he got hit plenty.

    They both landed about the same amount of power shots... Whitaker just controlled the fight with his jab. So yeah, either Whitaker did not hit Chavez with much else than jabs or they both hit each other plenty. Not a high output fight but both landed enough.

    havent seen his other fights, but he beat chavez at least 10 rounds to 2...And he snapped chavez's head back and forth w/ sick jabs probably more times than any fight in history.

    I think Chavez was slightly over ratted at the time even if he was the #1 pound 4 pound. Hhitaker should have won but he should not have had out classed Chavez the way he did. He not only out boxed him he out fought him.
