RAZZ-MCFC Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 who do you guys think wins this fight and how? Both the same style of fighter. Slick boxing skills and both defensive masters. For me though Floyd wins the fight. To me he is the better boxer out of the two although it's harder to seperate them than most. It comes down to opposition for me. Having just looked at Sweet Pea's record again, he came up short against the 3 best names on his record. A draw against JCC and losses to Oscar and Tito. Floyd is special, that may just be me but i believe nobody since Ray Leonard has been able to match him in terms of his technical boxing ability and skills inside the ring, and that includes Whitaker. thoughts?

McBride Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Pretty much all you said. His ability to fight with his brain as well as his body, means he would just find a way to hit Pernell more often than Pernell hits him, and therefore win the fight.

donlevy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 That draw is generally considered to be one of the biggest robberies in recent boxing history Razz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Pernell for me. He beats floyd at his own game. Close fight between two outstanding fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Whitaker for me by decision , it may well be that mayweather gets frustrated in his attempts score regularly against Whitaker as at times whitaker might, but as good as mayweather is he is not going to out-point Whitaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoner Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I agree that Whitaker wins. Mayweather Jr wins against guys who don't have their heads screwed on or who are simply not that technically gifted. Whitaker beat some all time greats and did so without breaking sweat. His "draw" with Chavez is one of the biggest robberies of all time (i gave Chavez 2 rounds maximum). Whitaker whooped a prime Chavez all around the ring. Mayweather Jr hasn't fought anyone even close to that level before. I think the key to this fight would be if Floyd could counter punch Whitaker and i say he can't. Whitaker's head would be out of the way before Floyd has even thought about throwing any return fire. Whitaker by UD for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robprosser Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Pernell Whitaker My head says Mayweather but the notable absence of slick, quick boxers on his resume make me wonder why. Let's face if he likes walk forward plodders (preferably long past their best) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkdragon11 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Pernell Whitaker I think Whitaker will win. Mayweather may be good but Whitaker is better and, in my own opinion, is a better technician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonezzz Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Pernell Whitaker I favour Pernell Whitaker. We all know Floyd would wait off the fight till he had the best possible advantages lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GianMan Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Pernell Whitaker That would been have a serious display of skill, but i just cant help but favor Mayweather. His defensive skills are just impeccable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikosvault Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Pernell Whitaker Pre-2007 Mayweather would impose his offense on Pernell. After 2007 it would be a snoozefest win for Pernell . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
