    I literally can't even fathom the score card you produced.. you gave Vasquez the first 5 rounds? Ludicrous buddy.. Whitaker landed more punches in round 1, 2, 3 (by the way the jab count was 28 to 8 I believe against somebody with a good jab and bigger and longer) and landed at a higher percentage. How you gave all the opening rounds to Vasquez is beyond me, and if that it's the case and didn't type it wrong who won, then I really don't know what to say.

    Let me ask you this... Who had a better chin Vasquez or Hearns?

    Buddy I just specifically named them already in my post you quoted.. I mentioned Round 1 specifically (can't the punches thrown and landed yourself... you'll find the jab was dominant and by a large margin) and also said round 9 for example. Those weren't the only rounds. He dominated early with the Jab and then Nelson pressed more so he didn't land or throw as much as he did in the fist 6 rounds.. but I have an example of a later round (round9) , where again, Pernell through more jabs than anything else and landed it more than anything else.

    Post your card. I posted mine.

    I don't know who had the better chin or if this is a rhetorical question. I had only watched Vasquez once and it was this fight. Do you think that Whitaker is going to hurt or KO Hearns? Was that the point of the question?

    If it is, it is pretty bold seeing as how Hearns wons titles at 175. I am thinking that Hearns can take Whitakers light punching. Seriously...are you suggesting by that question that Whitaker is a threat to KO Hearns at 154?

    I mean the video. I edited my post a little too late. Please post the video of round one Nelson-Whitaker where Whitaker dominates with the jab. That is all I am asking. I said that Pernell jabbed nice in this fight. I gave him that credit but that is not enough...you want more. He jabbed nice but he did not dominate the fight with a just a jab.

    I went back an checked round one of the Nelson fight and Whitaker did use his jab a lot and it was the dominate punch in that round. I will give you that. I still stand by that the fight was not dominated by Whitaker jab.

    Whitaker: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11
    Vasquez: 3, 4,7 and 12

    Round 10 was close though.. but so was round 3 I gave to Vasquez. Even if I gave Vasquez 10... it's still a solid good win for Whitaker
