    Wanna see what a great fighter does when faced with adversity. One of my favorite Sweet Pea fights, just for that reason.

    :good

    Dude that fight was a horrible late stoppage lol. Dude the first punch knocked hurtado out cold and 9 loaded up power punches landed after that with hurtado limp on the ropes!! The announcers were like wtf!?!? What happened to Hurtado after that fight? was his career over with? cus that is some career ending **** right there.

    He gave KT an exciting fight afterwards, but was thoroughly beaten.

    I'm a big Pea and Tszyu fan, and two of my favorite fights (if not most exciting) were against Hurtado. Solid fighter.

    Benitez was great....but come on, you really dont believe that....AND THERE IS NOOOOOOO way to make an arguement to back it....now your just messin wit me. :lol:

    Its one thing not being a fan (I will NEVER knock someone for not being a fan of a fighter)...but to say he was boring, really I just dont understand this. Later in his career when his skills declined from him abusing his body, I can see....but for someone to say they saw most of his fights and STILL say zzzzz, I just cant see that.

    He is arguably the best defensive fighter ever.....and on top of that, his offensive arsenal was tremendous (also has one of the best jabs ever as well). Plus he regularly (prime Sweet Pea) threw 100+ a round.

    Coming from someone who has seen all of his fights....he was one of the more exciting fighters I can remember.

    But to each his own I guess....:huh

    I remember watching this fight. I wish that Whitaker hadn't taken Hurtado so lightly going into the fight, he almost lost out on his big pay day with De La Hoya.

    Mercante Jr waited too long, but Sweet Pea pulled through when his back was against the wall to win.

    Damn right. Those anouncers who had Sweet Pea up were obviously biased, cause he was losing that fight. Its the reason its one of my favorite Whitaker fights. Too many of his were blow outs (yes even the "loss" to Ramirez and the "draw" to Chavez...those fights were one sided in Pernells favor), and you never really knew what would happen when he needed to reach down and pull one out.

    This fight had him in the corner....till that left...and another, and another, and another........etc.

    Just a GREAT finish.
