Tszyu vs Pernell Whitaker, Mayweather vs Pernell Whitaker.

Tszyu was never tested as hard as Pernell. For example we can’t even compare JC Chavez of 1993 (Pea’s opponent) and JC Chavez of 2000 (Tszyu’s opponent). Kostya has met the best contenders but he has never met true champions (Judah was slightly mad that night and showed nothing but nerves). Pernell had many fights of such level. It’s a very important factor.

jcc hits harder than tszyu? sorry but i cannot agree here. judah and mitchell both held their own until they felt the power of tszyu and then they retreated into a shell until they got finished. in my opinion it would happen to pernell too. Sweet Pea took Tito's power, and was going toe to toe with Tito for a couple of rounds..are you saying that Tszyu hits harder than Tito?..that he will make Sweet Pea go into a shell?..Tszyu will be lucky if he can hit a prime Sweet Pea..let alone hurt him. Look at how foolish Sweet Pea made Oscar look he made Oscar miss like 8 straight punches in one sequence..

You guys are unreal... Is there any evidence to suggest that Kostya Tszyu would KO one of the greatest p4p fighters ever in his prime? NO.... Whitaker beats Tszyu on points easily. This isn't like speculating about a Mayweather/Tszyu match. Whitaker was on another level than Kostya. Now i'm not saying its a blowout, but Pernell wouldn't be very afraid of Tszyu's power, and this is maybe the greatest defensive fighter ever, so Kostya ain't gonna be landing much.

tszyu late round KO over sweet pea ;) sweet pea UD over pfb ;)

i cant belive what im reading. a prime sweet-pea definatly wins aginst tszyu. now fmj vs. sweet-pea thats a dream fight, that would be like pernell vs. jones.

Tszyu would demolish Sweet Pea. Sweet P would outbox Mayweather.

I wasn't saying that Kostya WOULD beat Pernell... I just think you guys are writing off Tszyu too easily... I think he has a decent chance of winning, and Whitaker has a good chance at winning too... I really think it could go either way definitely. and in all seriousness, mayweather has a decent chance of winning too. the way he dominated corrales is etched in my mind.

Did you read what I wrote. Have you ever even seen Sweet Pea because I cant believe you are asking these question. Look at his record. All he does is score points. I think you have it in your head like he runs or something. He doesnt run. He goes in circles but is always in close range so he can land. Also he has been hit by hard punchers before and Tszyu wont land that many clean shots on him. Tszyu never hurt Tackie and Urkal gave him problems. He wont come close to hurting Whitaker. He doesnt hit harder then JCC. Also, Sweet Pea would be landing a bunch of punches on Tszyu and they will effect him. He may not stop him but he will respect Whitaker's punches jcc hits harder than tszyu? sorry but i cannot agree here. judah and mitchell both held their own until they felt the power of tszyu and then they retreated into a shell until they got finished. in my opinion it would happen to pernell too.

a 147 pounds prime TITO oversized and overpowered a WAY past his prime whitaker , broke his jaw but still couldnt manage to KO him , and sweat pea managed to put a clinic of body shots and counters on trinidad . in his prime he would toy with tzyu.

Whitacker would probably KO Kostya if he wanted to, He went toe to toe with Tito and if he had to KO some body he will like he did againt Diobelys Hurtado, Sweet Pea is on another level than Kostya Tszyu

Would Whitaker be able to mount a sufficient offense to win on the judges scorecards though? And would he be able to avoid Tszyu's power punches for 12 rounds? Would he be able to take Tszyu's shots?

Do you think Whitaker had enough power to make Tszyu get off his game? I think that Kostya could KO Whitaker... But then again Whitaker was a crafty little bugger and could dodge and slip bullets from a machine gun if he wanted too... No way dude. I have made threads about this before. I have made threads saying that everytime a boxer fights a puncher people say he doesnt havre enough power to keep him off. Thats crazy. These guys have used that style there whole life's and you cant just walk right through it. Alot of great fighters dont have much power. Spinks held off Mayorga and Sweet Pea held off JCC. Sweet Pea would dominate Tszyu easily

Sweet Pea beats both Sweet Pea and Duran in my opinion were the 2 best light weights.

By the way, do anybody know did Pernell finish his business with drugs and justice? What is he doing now?

You mean like Zab Judah?He and Sharmba showed that they could be a big problem for Kostya. But they did too little to be it. Pernell was a boxer of the other level of skill and nerves.

You mean like Zab Judah? Sarcasm :)

Yeah, no chance Tszyu, he has trouble with slick southpaws. You mean like Zab Judah?
