Who is better defencively Whittiker or Mayweather? Why?

[IronDanHamza]

First of all, there is no "c," in defense.

It must be an Alex pun. Defense Civility. Hmm, I don't know who is better in that category. MW is a slightly greater defensive fighter, but as for defense civility, I just don't know, kid.

It's spelt with a C in British English.

Alright I will back it up:Floyd is quite clearly better. Think of this, in two full decades and 50 fights nobody has ever decked him. You would think it would still happen accidentally. Only Judah managed something and Floyd still did not get put on his ass.

Pernell has been flash knocked down and legit cracked(no pun) a bunch of times. And when his youth was gone it was over. Him and RJJ. Floyd is on another level.

Don't forget Shane put a crack on Floyd but he stayed up and kept his composure do to ring IQ and conditioning.

False.

There is British English and American English. Mostly the same however slightly different.

Case in point; defence defense.

British English - Defence

American English - Defense

British - Colour

American - Color

And a list of other examples.

Whittiker certainly seems more amazing. Is he though?

Whitakers was more aesthetically pleasing to witness


floyds was more efficient....very hard to hit clean...whitaker made you miss by a mile...Mayweather mad you miss by the smallest of margins.

took less knockdowns...fought across 5 divisions....overall he also fought better opposition than Whitaker

I'd say their neck and neck but since I have to choose, i pick mayweather by the smallest of margins.....simply because ive seen Whitaker hurt, dropped or buzzed more often

Good point. I do not mind correction. You must discipline me so I will not forget.

OP do you have dyslexia?

Totally different types of defense, Whitaker in his prime was probably quicker but Floyd's overall defense is a lot more polished. I mean, it might seem like he's easier to hit because he doesn't bend down as much and do the same type of awkward movements but with the shoulder roll and incredible speed of his reactions he really doesn't have to do all that. Another thing that sets him apart is he seems to be able to tell what his opponents are going to throw before they throw it, so always has his positioning right. So in that sense it's like 50% defense 50% IQ.

No thats just Americans getting real English wrong because well they are American, the near silent u was too complex for them so it became color, in much the same way a 5 year old writes color

Two diffrent types Floyd was about the roll and he was standing in place ,Whitaker was all about movement ,he stayed low on his legs to make upperbody movement easier ,Whitaker was more fun friendly for sure.
