IF Pernell Whitaker was in the 147 division today..

I think Whitaker would have been avoided. He sure would of. Whitaker would of fought P-Will and school P-Will. Matter of fact P-Will might avoid Whitaker.

Pacquiao would never fight Whitaker. Pacquiao would would fight a prime Whitaker before Mayweather would. Floyd won't fight slick fighters. And, no Zab is not slick he is black but not slick.

He might have not beat them all. But he would have fought them all. I can agree with that, Sweetpea didnt duck anyone

Well we can be fairly certain that Mayweather would be ducking him too.

I think The_Executioner had a quote in his sig that said something like... That shit always cracked me up. :lol1: Hey hey hey, I did but it wasn't me who said it...it was one of Pac's dickriding fans...I would never pick Pac to beat Pernell

mayweather beats pernell convincingly also---pernell was not a better counter puncher thn floyd---floyd countered from more feinting angles making his punches that much more effective than pea's--who had grat upperbody movement, with simple counters---floyd could also block a punch and counter it---off of the ropes or in the middle of the ring----pernell didn't----floyd fought better inside defensively/offensively also---i have broken this fight down many times before so i'll end it hear, but mayweather beats pernell---pernell wasn't a complete fighter---floyd is---- Whitaker wasn't complete? I can't take this post serious at all. Also, Whitaker was better on the inside then Mayweather, was better at tying up the opponent and was the more precise body puncher. I wasn't gonna respond to this but DAMN.

I think Whitaker would have been avoided.

Sweet Pea's defense was just as good as Floyd's, but Pernell was much flashier. He was really fun to watch!

I don't see anybody 'beating' a prime whitaker, not even mayweather. just a pure defensive genious. But some people may take a decision from him just by pure punch output and looking good in the ring. It's possible the only ones who could take out whitaker might be crazies like Mayorga. A free-swing wild-punching unpredictable dude like that could catch sweet-pea by accident, and KO him.

Nelson looked like he figured Whitaker out late, and seemed to be landing at will late. He did better late in the fight because he started to get more physical. He let Whitaker control him too much early on.

And try to pull people's pants down or pat them on the butt, lol. Remember Whitaker-Nelson? :lol1: Nelson looked like he figured Whitaker out late, and seemed to be landing at will late.

I see your point man.. i honestly do i like floyd better than pernell but i agree.. the only way to beat floyd is to outbox him if theres anyone who would qualify for that.. pernell is easily one of the few I see it differently, Whitaker doesn't have the hand speed or power of Judah but overall he is the MUCH better fighter of course. I see Mayweather winning on the outside and Whitaker on the inside. I'm with Ex, could go either way.

And try to pull people's pants down or pat them on the butt, lol. Remember Whitaker-Nelson? :lol1: Yeah, I have most of that on my external. Cardona may have not been all that but that is one of my favorite fights to watch.

Whitaker would beat Mayweather because he would have Mayweather fighting his fight. Floyd knows he cant Box the Southpaw Whitaker from range because he will get outboxed like he did against Judah, what Mayweather would do is try to be more aggressive like he was with all the other Southpaw's he has fought, that is why Pea would win, Pea is better counter punching on the backfoot than Mayweather is as an aggressor. The worst styles for Mayweather are guys that can make him fight their fight and be the aggressor, thats why he would have trouble with a quality lefty like Whitaker and long range fighters who know how to Box and utilize their height.

Very very true. Whitaker's legs were very very strong. He pushed JCC, Oscar, JCV and even Tito around. And try to pull people's pants down or pat them on the butt, lol. Remember Whitaker-Nelson? :lol1:

And very strong legs too. Despite his lack of punching power, he could get real rough in there as well. These are some difficult match ups though. Very very true. Whitaker's legs were very very strong. He pushed JCC, Oscar, JCV and even Tito around.

5'5 1/2, not that tall but he had a pretty big frame for a little guy. And very strong legs too. Despite his lack of punching power, he could get real rough in there as well. These are some difficult match ups though.
