Re: I love boxing, personally, and my favorite boxer is, honestly, Manny Pacquiao. I've been watching his fights for about 5 or 6 years now. Reading up on Pacman is one of the ways I came to like Pilipi

[b]@niknok[/b] Actually, in the Whitaker-De La Hoya fight, Oscar won by unanimous decision, although it was disputed. Whitaker even knocked De La Hoya down in that fight but he spent more time defending himself and wasn't able to get a real offensive going against Oscar. I remember watching that fight and I thought that Whitaker should have one it, but the judges didn't see it that way, unfortunately. He eventually retired in 2001 (I think) after breaking his collar bone (I think, but don't remember for sure) early in a fight. He is now a boxing trainer in Virginia. He used to (not sure if he still does) train heavyweight Calvin Brock. And keep those classic vids coming in. =) I enjoyed watching that last one you posted. A little news....I know this is kinda late now, but Zab Judah lost his fight against Joshua Clottey last week. I'll update all the other fights later, too, and post the link to the new rankings, also. Personally, I know that Zab Judah seems to always find a way to a big match-up despite all the flaws in his career, but this time, unfortunately, I think he's done. Joshua Clottey is a damn good fighter, but Zab has so much more skill than Clottey and he should have been able to do better. I thought Judah looked "okay" for the first 2 rounds, but after that....it was all Clottey. Zab Judah is going to be remembered as a disappointment, an under-achiever, and a man who should have made it into the boxing hall of fame. I doubt he'll ever be inducted, though.
