Zab Judah is probably the most accomplished welterweight Mayweather ever beat (and not very accomplished at that) and Judah struggled to win a split decision over a near 40 year old Rafael Pineda.

having better this & better that is almost immaterial..
u assess a certain technique a fighter has by measuring the quality of their opposition...

Floyd's defence is more economical and more effective, Whitaker's is more athletic and cool to watch

Originally posted by Dynamite Kid View PostEven if that is the case, which im not saying it is, it does not really hold much water because Floyd wont fight the 147 pounders and he did not fight Tszyu either.

Originally posted by mathed View PostWhitaker's was better, he had much more movement and elusiveness while Floyd uses elbows and pushes people and holds at times. Nothing against Floyd, 2nd to Pernell of the last 25 yrs, I agree but he borderline cheats when in close with the elbows.

Pernell was a crafty weird moving guy, Floyd is more reactive but I have seen him basically elbow people while moving from side to side avoiding punches on the inside.
