    First of all, Pernell's eye wasn't badly swollen. Secondly, I really don't see domination being displayed here. Even when Whitaker dipped his rear below his knees, Tito landed what? Maybe one clean shot? Meanwhile, he was being timed with the jab and shown around the ring.

    What are you talking about he completely out-boxed Whitaker in that round, Whitaker was just trying to survive flicking a jab out he had no answers and had given up completely.

    I'm not contesting the winner of the round, but the manner in which the round was won. Even to insinuate that Whitaker was "completely out-boxed" is wrong, in my opinion. Tito landed the more impactful shots, yes. But he was also made to miss and eat jabs and straight lefts.

    This was Whitaker at the end of his career, for the most part, and it wasn't a domination in my book.

    Leonard's the obvious stand out for mine.

    Agreed.

    Rest are capable of scoring the upsets against each other. would likely go with Trinidad as 2nd best---especially in DKP cards==he will be tough to beat on the scorecards.
