    Chavez, it's disgusting that he didn't get the decision.

    The hurtado fight is interesting in the fact that whitaker has to play the role of a slugger and go out and hunt down and KO a skilled but dangerous fighter in hurtado

    Its funny how uncomfortable Whitaker was in that role. Only time I've seen him look awkward. The kayo, while brutal, looks hilarious-Pea, having never been in that position ever before, puts Hurtado away with some of the most comically amateurish haymaker left hands ever seen from a pound for pound fighter.

    Coming from a master boxer, and being aware that Hurtado was in fact unhurt after the fact, the scene has always been most comical to me.

    Outside of those mentioned, his fight vs. Jake Rodriguez was interesting. Their history as sparring partners and the brutal body punching made it enjoyable. I remember liking the Brazier fight, but I don't remember why and it's been too long since I've seen it.

    His valiant effort in losing to Ramirez. Tried so hard but came up just short. He had better luck the next time out.

    Glad to see the Pineda fight mentioned. That one a blast and people forget it probably because Whitaker was terribly flashy he just fought a damn briliiant fight.

    Nazario fight is fun too since Nazario had split two stoppages with Rosario and figured to give Sweet Pea some uncomfortable rounds.
