    Yeah its disgraceful to think that if Nelson won just one more round he would have scored that fight a draw. It was an out and out whitewash. Nelson won 2 or 3 rounds at most and one of those rounds he won only becuase Whitaker clowned and lifted Azumah's leg.

    Some judges (and fans) just never took to (or understood) Whitaker's style. I think that, probably more than corruption, was the reason we saw such rediculous scores in some of his fights.

    Could you just imagine if Whitaker won two more rounds in the DLH fight and STILL lost the decision? Could of happened.

    Whitaker was awesome at 140lbs against Pineda. He was firing on all cylinders that night behind the jab. It was a pure boxing display from start to finish. Pineda came into the fight with a record of 28-1 (26KO), yet was made to look like a fighter who was making his pro debut that night as Whitaker creamed him so badly. 12 years later, Pineda lost a split decision to Judah.

    I think Whitaker beats Duran at 135lbs, so Hatton aint a problem at 140lbs.

    Don't let my avatar fool you, Duran is my favourite fighter of all time.

    Yeah I agree like I said I don't remember what I had it scored I do remember I had Whitaker winning. Probably more than the judges did.

    Yeah, if you watch the fight again you'll more than likely score 9 rounds for Whitaker.

    That 115-113 scorcard is one of the worst I have ever seen. Even though that judge still had Whitaker winning the fight.

    If Hatton won 3 rounds against Sweet Pea it would be an achievement.

    By "win", do you mean "just lose 10-9 instead of 10-8..."?
