Money Mayweather vs Sweet Pea Pernell Whitaker@135: Who wins?

The Southpaw stance and the incredible defense would cause major problems for Floyd. However, Floyd is the king of making adjustments so it would be interesting how the fight would turn out. Also, Floyd didn't stay in the pocket a lot, if at all in those lower weights and moved a lot more than he did later on so Pernell would have a hard time landing too. They were both KO artists at the time so it really would be interesting how this fight would turn out. I predict if they fought three times the score would be 1-1-1. Good post. More or less how I see things as well. Would be a great fight.

Mayweather would win hands down a wide ud. Because Mayweather would be the guy retreating and barely throwing I.e "boxing" and nowadays you get the round automatically for running around unless your opponent can hurt or knock you down. Big difference between running and boxing. Floyd ran for spurts in a few fights but always outboxed his opponents.

And shady part was they became partners in gbp like a week later,,, I think after the sturm fight oscar knew he was in over his head, and him and Hopkins had a nice sparring session til the 9th, and I don't know if oscar quit or took a dive but I was always suspect about that fight That's exactly what it was a sparring session nobody really broke a sweat then it was over.

I know a liver shot hurts like hell; but there was no pop behind it I thought B-Hop was Dq'd at first for a low blow he spent more time hitting the canvas than trying to get up.

I feel the same,, especially about the dive vs Hopkins,,, I know a liver shot hurts like hell; but there was no pop behind it I thought B-Hop was Dq'd at first for a low blow he spent more time hitting the canvas than trying to get up.

I love the guy but you don't put anybody to shame when your losing; he is a what if because he didn't take his craft as serious as he should have. Yes to me he beat Tito and and Mosley in the rematch but he really lost to Sturm,Quartey and maybe Pernell. I can't give the Bills props for losing 4 straight SB's which is what Oscar career turned out to be I almost stop being a Oscar fan because I felt he took a dive vs B-Hop. To me just my opinion it's about wins and loses but Boxing is the only sport where that doesn't matter. I feel the same,, especially about the dive vs Hopkins,,,

How can u say oscar was a what if type fighter... Dude fought everyone... I guess you can say what if he got the decisions over Tito and Shane rematch, but then he also should have lost to sturm.. By the time that oscar went part time,, he had fought everyone from 130-160 and just got embarrassed by Hopkins... He had accomplished everything he could in his career and even when he was a part time fighter he was taking tougher fights than Floyd and manny have ever done... As a part time fighter he fought not 1 but 2 p4p#1 atg in their primes in Floyd and manny,,, Oscar puts all current fighters to shame except for cotto and Bradley,, those 2 seem to fight anyone I love the guy but you don't put anybody to shame when your losing; he is a what if because he didn't take his craft as serious as he should have.

Quartey,Vargas and Mosely I was his only true back and forth wars cause Tito and Mosley II was more tactical; come on from Mosely II(he became a part time fighter) on he gave Floyd the blueprint on how to take long lay offs. The only difference is he abused his body and Floyd doesn't. I love Oscar to death my #3 fav fighter ever but guy has the most what if career in history and he only blame himself the only fighter who dissappointed me as much was Tyson.

Oscar would be a lot younger,,he didn't take fake retirements and wait years in between big fights.. He fought Ike, Tito Shane in less than a 16 months.. But I will say that Floyd longevity at the top level is simple amazing, and I give him all the props in the world for being a true professional fighter and always staying focused at the gym,, Oscar didn't last as long as Floyd due to reckless behavior outside the ring plus a ton of wars inside the ring Quartey,Vargas and Mosely I was his only true back and forth wars cause Tito and Mosley II was more tactical; come on from Mosely II(he became a part time fighter) on he gave Floyd the blueprint on how to take long lay offs.

How are judging this opinion; cause a 36 yr old Oscar gets beat-up by Canelo; I don't think 34 yr old Oscar beats Cotto. A 26 yr old Oscar yeah beats both of them. But Oscar lost to Shane(a better version) who Floyd only had a problem with for a rd. Both beat Genaro and Gatti the same.

He would bloody and murder jmm like he did Chavez He would stop canelo like he did Vargas Just like I said he would destroy everyone on Floyd's resume, and wouldn't be afraid to fight guys in their prime like he did with Ike, Shane, Tito, Vargas, Floyd, manny, gatti, leija, ruelas, Molina, etc...

lol why the hell was he outboxing a smaller man? that fight was a joke, dude couldn't knock out a feather weight (jmm only had two fights at 135 before the may weather fight) It was a joke how so? Name a fighter in history that can pull JMM up in weight, and not beat them, KO them, destroy them, but avoid every single shot and make him look clumsy and dumb. Not only that, but JMM looked the same as Canelo, was Canelo smaller man? Was the Canelo fight a joke? Mosley was bigger than JMM but he looked the same way, so was that fight a joke? No matter what size, style, Floyd will dominate you and you wont land a single shot. No fighter in history is this skilled. And never will be.

Floyd. Because Pretty Boy was a ****ing monster.

Seriously was just gonna post this kinda bummed you beat md to it :( id say pernell tko though

lol why the hell was he outboxing a smaller man? that fight was a joke, dude couldn't knock out a feather weight (jmm only had two fights at 135 before the may weather fight) To be fair,, no one knocks out jmm,,, he is like the terminator, you can knock him down, break his nose, make him bleed, but he will get up and just keep coming
