    Problem was Pernell was clowning as much as jabbing..He then preceded to give the final rd to Hoya..I dont know what he was thinking. The problem is that some rounds Pea didnt do **** and Oscar won those...If you look at the punch stats Pea would have won clearly. Oscar showed more aggression as well even if he was missing all night. I had oscar by a round

    There were a few fighters that did just as well/horrible against Whitaker but they didn't get the decision.

    Well Oscar was a new hope of boxing back then and Whitaker was already seen by many as a shadow of the past.

    It is actually very funny how things turn out to be in this life.

    Right after 10 years you get younger guy named Floyd fighting Oscar, the fight was similiar in a way that De La Hoya was seen as an active fighter and Mayweather's concern was keep himsef away from punches.

    If Mayweather was 35 he'd loose in that fight, if Oscar was 25 he'd win.

    Oscar knows that but he keeps complaining that he won the fight just like Pernell did 10 years ago. (Althought I think Sweet PEa won). Will Mayweather complain after 10 years ?:hey We'll see.
