    Rip to the 2nd best defensive fighter in the last 30 years :(. One of the greatest ever and gave Chavez an epic ass whoopin.

    Whitaker's defensive ability was legendary, but he could plant his feet and punch when he wanted or needed to. Wonderful fighter who earned his spot on the lightweight division's Mt. Rushmore.

    RIP, Sweet Pea.

    The best pure boxer of all up there with Floyd, Sugar Ray Robinson, Charley Burley and Muhammed Ali.
