what if: Whitaker vs. Margarito @ 147?

Whitaker was at the end of the line at WW, something most people don't seem to be taking into consideration. Due to this it would be closer than some are imagining, Whitaker lost to Tito after all (drug abuse was only part of it, he was nearly shot).

Whitaker is way too skilled for Margarito. Tony is tough but too ordinary and slow for Whitaker. The only way Tony could win this one is having the same judges of Whitaker/Chavez.

Whitiker would win, but tough question is would he fight him? Took Whitiker a long time to fight Triniadad and was supposed to fight Quartey.

Might as well watch Margarito shadowbox for 12 rounds instead.

did anyone read my last post? pernells shorter than manny and margarito is taller than DLH. this poll is 31 to 2 in favor of pernell. if mannypac beats DLH people are a;lready saying that he will be considered a legend because of how small he is compared to him. what about sweet pea? im realllly surprised that this poll is this one sided. i did vote for pernell btw

What does that mean? Yeah, he got dropped once and lost every round. Great example. Anyway, I like Pea over Margarito but it won't be easy. And I'm not quite sure how the Tito fight where he got beat the fukk up and lost a wide decision determines anything. It certainly wouldn't be significantly more difficult than the Vazquez fight. Vazquez was more skilled than Margarito and was a genuine hard ass himself. One of the better Jr Middleweights since 1990.

wow im so surprised that it is this one sided im going whitaker but this is coming from a huge whitaker fan and from someone who thinks PBF would be too fast for margarito as well i find it interesting that most of you say pbf-margarito is a good fight and whitaker-margarito is a one sided fight then people always debate pbf-whitaker. i mean i dont believe in triangle theories but seeing how everyone thinks pbf-margaritos a good matchup im surprised this vote isnt more even. especially considering sweet pea was 2 inches shorter with 3 inches less reach now that i think about it.. whitaker-margarito would be like DLH-Pac in terms of physical advantages. whitaker is shorter than mannypac and margarito is taller than dlh...

Read my post again! I clearly said Sweet Pea was not in his PRIME!:spank: I read that...and?

I gotta go with Pernell on this one. Margarito is a tough bastard though. I was just watching a HL video on Pernell. He was fucking amazing.

Whitaker took Trinidad's assault for 12 rounds, and it's safe to say he wasnt in his prime at the time. Pernell takes this fight via UD. No doubt about it. He will make Margarito miss all night long.

I pick Pea but it wouldn't be easy...AT ALL. In fact, Margarito would be the kind of guy that would cause serious problems for him because he is happy landing anywhere and everywhere. And the punches dont stop coming. I very much doubt he'd fall into Pea's head games. Furthermore, Pea was not at his best at 147. He struggled there, particularly in later years although he easily handled McGirt in their rematch. Still, it's hard to pinpoint which Pea would show up and which Pea we're talking about because his prime sure as hell wasn't at welterweight.

Whitaker will make this look easy!

I wonder if Marg would land enough body shots to slow down Whitaker enough to take over the fight? Maybe, but it will probably be too late by then. Whitaker UD I doubt it. If Julio Cesar Chavez couldn't, I don't see Margarito doing it tbh.

WTF :rofl: i think my boy margarito breaks a record for most shots missed. He would land to the body though. I wonder if Marg would land enough body shots to slow down Whitaker enough to take over the fight? Maybe, but it will probably be too late by then. Whitaker UD
