This will always be one of my favorite pernell fights. Its the only fight where he was in with someone better, and he therefore got to display 100% of his heart. Tito was bigger, younger, faster, with a deadly punch AND was in his prime, and pernell went right after him from the start , then fought with a broken jaw for half the fight, and even then, he was still swinging for the fences trying to win. He took his beating like a man, just like all the greats before him did. And tito still couldnt knock him out. He knocked out middleweights. He knocked out yory boy campos, fernando vargas, and william joppy. De la hoya stayed on his bicycle for all 12 rounds to avoid titos power. And heres pernell, willingly engaging in a firefight with one of the deadliest punchers of that era, and he still finished. Hats off to sweet pea. R.i.p., pete.

Whittaker was fighting dirty the entire after tito dropped sweet pea in the 2nd round. Whittaker didn't want no part of tito's power shots. Whittaker basically took pages out of chavez 's Sr cheat book. Every time Whittaker knelt down or sat down it should of been a knock down. And the time tito went down ( it was Whittaker jumping over a off balanced tito to try and land a body shot and push tito down. But Whittaker body punch actually landed on tito's leg. I like Whittaker though , and he did give tito a good challenging fight. Tito did make a lot of mistakes in this fight. IF tito's corner would of actually pointed out the corrections needing to be made then I believe tito may have been about to get a knockout. JUST my opinion though. Anyways ... This was a good fight to watch.

Whitaker's best days were actually BELOW 147 lbs. At 135 and 140, he enjoyed his best moments. Would have been a close fight between these 2 at any other time a 147.

When Whitaker sits down to avoid punches, you have to call those knockdowns. Atrocious officiating.

Personally, I think a prime Hearns was one of the most dangerous WW's ever and I see him stopping Trinidad or winning a unanimous decision. Boxing ability Hearns was superior. Power, close but Hearns definitely had the one punch power over him.

Just imagine Hearns at 147 Vs Mayweather Floyd wouldn't stand a chance..another good fight would be Andre Ward Vs Sergio Martinez & Kelly Pavlik Vs Canelo

If Sweet Pea was a little younger and hadn't come of a suspension for cocaine use, he'd box circles around Tito. Good fight though. I think Floyd saw how elicit drug use could adversely affect reflexes so that's why abstained from using them.

For all the people that thinks Trinidad would have beaten a prime Whitaker, consider this. Whitaker fought this fight the only way he could consider his reflexes was gone, his footwork was gone, his handspeed a couple steps slower. He stood right in front of Trinidad for twelve rounds, showed that he had a warriors heart, and refused to give in despite his best skills: his movement, defense and reflexes was gone. In Whitakers prime he would have used his great footwork, and make trinidad follow him, avoiding punches with his relexes and counter time after time. It would have looked like Winky vs Trinidad. There is a reason Trinidad never faced Whitaker around 1994 or 1995 or even 1997. Because he still had very good footwork, handspeed, reflexes and was not a sitting duck like in 1999. Or do really people thnik that Trinidad would land 55% of his punches against a prime Whitaker ?? That he would stand still and fight Trinidad for 12 rounds without movement ?? Unlike Roy Jones, around the same age, with his skills and speed, eroded, Whitaker fought his heart out and showed he was a warrior, with a great chin and refused to give in, despite beeing knocked down fighting with a broken jaw. How people can say that he is so boring, and then praise a fighter like Mayweather for his style is pathetic. Whitaker fought with a much higher pace in his fights, then Mayweather ever did, throwing betweeen 700-1000 punches in his fights.Fought a prime Oscar when he was past his prime at 33, not like the 34 year old Oscar that Floyd fought in 2007 that only had stamina for 6-7 rounds. Whitaker was in his prime one of the pound for pound very best, best fighter of the 90s for sure. Had better quality of opponnents then Roy or any other fighter for that matter. Didnt avoid anyone, fought them all. Yes, he could get dropped sometimes in his fight, but thats natural when you throw as many punches as him and is as offensive as he was in his prime. Age and a coke habit was the only thing that beat him, if you dony count lousy judges and wbc Jose Suliman and his "love" for Whitaker and his style. Even if you dont like his style, or him as person, he still should be very high on everybodys pound for pound list. No fighter i have ever seen could handle pressure fighters as good as Whitaker could in his prime, allways fighting bigger and stronger fighters, despite lack of power. He found a way to beat them for 12 rounds.

ensteffe Excuses excuses, Tito beat him fair and square, even if they had fought before Tito still would've beat him. B-hop and Roy Jones, two ring legends were the only ones who could whoop Tito, all the others got their butts kicked, and an Oscar who didn't had the guts to fight Felix toe to toe.

@@anactaneustheeleventh2542 Yes Tito did beat him but that was in no way close to a prime Whitaker. His reflexes and footwork was all gone, you have to be blind not to see that. In Whitakers prime his footwork, reflexes and defense would have made Tito look foolish. Tito would not have been facing a "sitting duck" like when they fought in 99, and not land 55% of his punches.

For those that don't know, Trinidad broke Whitaker's jaw in 3 place in this fight. Whitaker did a great job not getting knocked out. He found out what many fighters did. Once you realize you can't hurt him, you either ran, hugged or you were KO'ed.

That was the hardest punch I've ever seen Whitaker take from any of his opponents, that uppercut with 7 seconds left in round 8 was the deadliest punch in the hold fight, & I believe that was the punch that had broken Whitaker's jaw because of the way it sounded & the way Whitaker's head snapped back after it landed & you could literally hear the crack of that uppercut on Whitaker's jaw & watch how he reacted when round 8 was over by going to Trinidad's corner when the 8th round was over, lucky for Whitaker he didn't have 20 more seconds left in round 8 or he would have gotten KO by Trinidad cause he was out on his feet.

This was the first time Whitaker was actually beaten in a fight in the ring and on the score cards, and it took a much bigger and younger fighter; not to mention, a great fighter in Trinidad. Pete fought him like a champ despite recognizing midway that he was clearly outmatched in strength and age.
