There was a Whitaker fight i watched recently where Lou Duva could not be in his corner. I believe it was the Jorge Paez fight, and Lou Duva was recovering from some heart condition or something.
George Benton was really always the one instructing Whitaker between rounds as far as strategy and technique was concerned. I always heard that Duva was just a cheerleader. So I was wondering if he ever made a difference being in Whitakers corner. Or if not having Duva in his corner that night even affected him at all? Could he have done fine throughout his career without Lou in his corner?
