Prime Pea vs. Prime Floyd? Toss up of a coin. It would "boring" to some, but it would be incredible to see those two in the ring. Pea would get robbed.....
Roger was pretty darn good, other than his awful chin. wicked right hand, very solid boxing ability and jab...even showed high level defensive ability on occasion.
his wins over Samuel Serrano, Mario Martinez, Rene Arrendondo, and Vinny Pazienza are all very notable. he looked especially good in the Pazienza fight, imo.
even went the distance with Kostya Tsyzu despite being pretty far past his prime. pretty hard thing to do.
Wasn't it Roger who called himself the Mexican killer or some shit and then JCC battered him
BTW Pea would be favoured over any 135 - 147 lber of the past decade, although according to Pacman777 Ricky Hatton could have gone through Pernell's resume undefeated
The great thing about a Mayweather and Pernell Whitaker fantasy match up is that Mayweather won't be as defensive, although Whitaker had underrated power. Anyway, Floyd Mayweather > Roger Mayweather. The only thing Roger had was more power then Floyd.
Yes... because Floyd has shown that he is willing to take punches and trade when he knows they can't hurt him...
