@@constantine7382 Easy to libel, but the onus is on you to substantiate any claims of Pernell Whitaker cherry-picking.

@constantine7382 11 ай бұрын

@@ChrisAcheson Fair enough. He FLATLY refused to fight Rosario. They tried to make that fight for a couple of years and whitaker would have none of it. Rosario could box, was fast and had a powerful straight right. All things whitaker had problems with. He refused to meet Trinidad or Quartey and ONLY fought Trinidad AFTER he lost his belts. Why? Because he knew what would happen. He was NEVER going to beat Felix. He COULD have fought Chavez at lightweight or jr. welter. He avoided and ONLY agreed to fight Chavez when he was fading and at an unnatural weight. He refused to fight Norris when Norris was considered about the p4p best. Instead, he fought the crude Vasquez and still ended up on his backside. Those are just off the top of my head. Not saying whitaker wasn't a respected fighter. But his claim as an " all time great" is weak.

@ChrisAcheson 11 ай бұрын

@@constantine7382 To be fair: There is no record of Rosario nor Whitaker turning down a fight with each other. Against Felix Trinidad, Felix won but was 9 years younger than ol' Pernell at 37. And Whitaker not fighting Quartey would have been interesting. Between Ike "Bazooka" Quartey and Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker, Pernell Whitaker had the better boxing record in terms of achievements and overall success. Again, there is no record of either Terry Norris or Pernell Whitaker turning down a fight together. A potential matchup between Terry Norris and Pernell Whitaker could have been an intriguing clash of styles, with Norris's power and aggression facing off against Whitaker's defensive wizardry. While it's difficult to definitively prove a negative claim, the evidence above suggests that Pernell Whitaker did not engage in cherry-picking during his boxing career. His record, the quality of opponents he faced, and his reputation among boxing experts all support the notion that he was a formidable and accomplished boxer who consistently took on challenging opponents.
