    You don't watch boxing, you purely go off what you see on boxrec don't you.

    But since you like to play prime so much, Pacquiao was knocked in his prime 3 times. He lost on points in his prime to Morales, Mayweather and Horn.

    Have respect on your self... Dont make yourself look like a clown. Dont tell me that Whittaker signature wins were Dela Hoya, Trinidad and JCC? He lost to Dela Hoya in a closed fight, He was schooled by Trinidad and got a majority draw against JCC.

    You're missing out his win over Vasquez. Who'd KTFO Pacquiao. And BTW literally all three would go the distance with Pacquiao. In fact, it's not even a given Pac would beat Nelson or Ramirez.

    By the logic of 'Whitaker lost to the best he faced', so did Pacquiao... he has a wide loss to Mayweather, he was put into a coma by Marquez and couldn't beat him clearly at any point, and he was bashed up by Morales.

    Pernell was badly robbed vs Chavez, and IMO jobbed vs De La Hoya too. You can't just write off Randall as a journeyman BTW, since he simply wasn't one. He was a fine fighter who fought on too long. 15 of his losses are whilst he's past prime, and the others are to world champions. Pernell was coked up and old for Tito, and he made the final bell with a broken jaw...

    Tito KOs Pac. Pernell UDs him.

    Vasquez top rated win was only against 22 yr old green Winky Wright. I can count it as a significant win if he fought Winky in his prime probably around 25 to 32.

    Vasquez was a hard puncher. Cotto was a hard puncher too and has a better boxing skills greater fighter than Vasquez but Pac obliterated Cotto. Vasquez to knock out prime Pac is just a myth.

    Ramirez never win a top rated opponent except only Whittaker himself in a controversial split victory. He lost to Ray Mancini, Hector Camacho, Ruben Olivares to name some of them.

    Azuma Nelson wins against Wilfredo Gomez was great at Featherweight as well as his wins at super featherweight. He never fought above 130 lbs. He fought Wittaker at lightweight 135 lbs and he obvoiusly fought not at his best. He was slow and flat-footed. He was technically never good at lightweight and never earned even a single championship belt there.

    Whittaker lost to top rated opponents.
    You can argue that he should have won agiants JCC and that could be another discussion.. but he challenged JCC at Welterweight when he was a champion at that weight.. but the issue was JCC never was and never been and never had been a Belt holder at Welterweight. In short he was a Bum a werterweight division. There is weight class for a reason..

    Wittaker lost obvoiusly to De la Hoya in a closed fight.
    Just because Trinidad schooled him... he could not handle his power shots and accuracy you took away Wittaker's physical prime.. Trinidad was bigger and he was obviously above the caliber of Whittaker's previous opponents that was why Wittaker struggled to win.

    It was Randall first world title shot when he fought for JCC WBC lineal light WW. He got the belt only after he defeated JCC so basically he was a journeyman by then.

    Try compare Whittaker signature wins (Vasquez, Azuma Nelson, Mcgirt, Ramirez) against Pac's (Barrera, Dela Hoya, Cotto, Hatton to name a few) who do think is greater?

    Trinidad got a controversial win against Dela Hoya who was obliterated by Pac. Prime Pac by his speed, awkward movement, workrate and punches in buches will certainly trouble Trinidad and Whittaker...
    PAC by UD in a hard fought battle.

    A slick south paw with defense is a stylistic nightmare for Pac.
