How about resume wise?
That's exactly what i mean. If we could track their CompuBox Defensive stats from their first pro fight to their last pro fight, then we would find out for sure even though CompuBox isn't always accurate. It's such a shame too, Boxing started tracking down punch stats a little too late unlike other Sports.
Pea was also a Southpaw and I dont care what anyone says. That shish is an advantage. His D still wouldve been top notch but not as good if he were a righty. Guys couldve found him more then
I always give Floyd the edge over Pea, Toney, Winky, Hopkins, etc.... due to the fact that all of those guys only had 1 style and everyone knows what it is but Floyd can switch up his D from fight to fight or even round to round. Everyone knows his shoulder roll but alot of times he comes out with the Winky high guard, sometimes he comes out with his hands out in front of him, and so on
Floyd. But its close. They were the 2 best defensive fighters I've ever seen. Floyd was more defensive minded because he took less risks, he rarely leaves himself open.
spot on man, pernell like larry said generally threw more punches and was more of an action type fighter then floyd, but who isnt? but pernell was still awesome defensively even when opening himself up, so i am gonna take pernell, cause he took more risks and still didnt get hit much
