    Whitaker was never the same after McGirt 2, that was the last of the true elite p4p Whitaker... he was well past prime vs Oscar in `97... the WW Whitaker that fought Chavez & McGirt would have beat DLH IMO.... ****, the past prime version had a 50/50 fight with him, that fight was a draw if there ever was one, no superiority was shown by either man.

    Exactly why Whitaker was the best fighter in the last 25 years, along with Roy and Hopkins.

    I understand your Mexican bias, but Hopkins and Jones had far greater careers.

    Pernell Whitaker is way out in front and Roy Jones Jr is comfortably second.

    May, Pacquiao, Hopkins, Chavez etc are all great, but Pea and RJJ were in a different league.
