When before, he could screw-drive his way into the canvas to avoid an attack, this time his legs betrayed him. Out of the ring for more than a year, 'old-age', years of drug and alcohol abuse took Whitaker away from his prime. What makes the bias of the pro-Trinidads evident is that people are quick to point out that when Holyfield 'drew with' Lewis, he was shot at 36, but seem to dismiss Pernell Whitaker's 35 years when they fought. Many experts picked Whitaker to win'. Many picked Leonard to beat Camacho.
Experts get it wrong ad nauseum.
These experts ignored the facts and bet with their hearts rather than their heads. Heck, some American experts actually thought Bruno had a chance against Tyson in their rematch. Now comes my favorite part of the argument. This next section concerns Trinidad's ahem, splutter, gasp, choke 'victory' over De La Hoya. What surprises me is that people use this fight to show how good Trinidad is.
