Why he might be annoying:

    He is nicknamed 'Sweet Pea' (Who would be scared of a guy name Sweet Pea?).
    He was caught driving 90 mph in a 55 mph zone, and had to serve 30 days in jail (May 2002).
    He was caught with cocaine (January 2002).
    He tested positive for cocaine after a fight with Andrei Pestriaev, in which Whitaker won, but it was changed a No Contest.
    He is a druggie.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is one of the best pound for pound boxers ever.
    He is one of the most talented boxers of all time.
    He has been robbed of many decisions in his career (Against Oscar De La Hoya, Julio Cesar Chavez, and Jose Luis Ramirez).
    When he was robbed from Jose Luis Ramirez, he got a rematch and beat him in his hometown.
    He is an Olympic gold medalist.
    Oscar De La Hoya said he would give Whitaker a rematch but never did.
    Despite being over the hill, druggie, past-his prime, and old, he still outboxed Oscar De La Hoya.
    When he was robbed from Julio Cesar Chavez, it was one of the most controversial decisions in sports history.
    Despite being way past his prime and a crack addict, he went 12 rounds with a prime Felix Trinidad.
    He cleared out the lightweight division.
    It's sad to see a champ turn into chump.
