Whitaker turned pro in 1996 and quickly climbed the rankings with knockout wins over limited competition.
Savarese ended Whitaker's 18 fight unbeaten streak with a decision win.
Whitaker then scored a devastating KO victory over contender Oleg Maskaev 2001, perhaps the biggest win of his career.
At this point Whitaker was seen by many as having the potential to be a future heavyweight champion.
Unfortunately for Whitaker, he lost his next fight to Jameel McCline by unanimous decision.
Whitaker is likely most known for his bizarre adoption of the "Goofi" nickname prior to his fight with McCline in 2001.
Whitaker's popularity was skyrocketing in boxing circles, and his promoter, the infamous Rock Newman, concocted the stunt to generate publicity and sentiment towards Whitaker.
He then drifted into journeyman obscurity, and was knocked out by Luan Krasniqi in 2005.
In 2006 Whitaker lost to Sultan Ibragimov by knockout, effectively putting an end to his hope for future title belt opportunities.
Whitaker continues to fight, but hasn't been highly ranked as a heavyweight in several years.
