I honestly think it's floyd. Before it was a more even battle and Pernell might have the better wins but floyd has done it for longer and across more weight classes and he's come out with much less wear and tear and without being hurt as much.

Sweet Pea for me...a that is with Floyd being an ATG defender. Pernell was just amazing to watch from a defensive perspective from an athletic standpoint of simply being able to avoid punches from an opponent that was right in front of him, while Floyd's defensive greatness has a bit more to do with his ring intelligence and positioning.
Both are at least top 5 defensive fighters EVER in my opinion.

Just compare past his best Whitaker vs Prime Oscar, and Prime Floyd vs past his best Oscar.
Floyds defense is great, Pernell's defense is great. Pernell's defense is great in a more entertaining way.real raw likes this.
