    Wasn't Chavez offered 7 million for a rematch right after the fight? For some reason the rematch never happened. Pea was a bad styles match-up for him and I don't think King fancied the idea of taking an L on the way to a 100-0-1 record that was being written so much about before the Whitaker fight.
    - - No, nobody wanted to see Pea fight again, but they propped him up for peanuts.

      Whitaker is is in the running for all-time greatest lightweight.

      I don't think he needs your approval, Queensbury.

          I though a lot of rounds were close, but Whitaker won the vast majority of those rounds to win a rather wide decision in my opinion.

            What you meant to say was King and Chavez had no intention of going near Whotaker again no matter how much was offered. Had King been Whitakers promoter you would have been screaming to high heaven that the fix was in.

              Talent wise maybe, but not based on his body of work at 135. He certainly doesn't need the Turd gobblers approval though.

                This seems pretty insane to me. It's almost unheard of.

                  - - Fenech whooped Nelson from stem to stern, pillar to post for the duration of their first fight. It was one of hundreds of DKing robberies.

                    Kind of like the way King orchestrated the draw for Chavez after Whitaker whipped him.

                      Someone explain to me how Don King fixed these decisions.

                      I would like to hear a realistic scenario laid out - not the usual guilt by reputation.
