    Pernell Whittaker vs Ray Leonard

    In their primes at welter. Could've been one of the most unbelievable performances of all time. Or..one of the most boring. I believe both would've respected each other so much that neither would have taken many chances. And the winner is...

    Damn.....this is a great match....

    I gotta go with Leonard. He was fast enough and he would throw enough punches to outwork Pea.

    Leonard W15.

      Leonard would have TKO'd Whitaker in the late rds.

      Whitaker was hittable at 147. Leonard was lightning fast, & had underrated power at 147.

        Tito couldn't put away a shot used up Pea. I have trouble seeing Leonard being able to.

              Ray probably steals it from Pea in a horrible split decision like he did Hagler. There's no way SRL KO's Pea in his prime. He wouldn't hit him enough or hard enough to do that.

              I'm gonna say Pernell by UD but it's entirely possible that Ray could win this too.

                Whitaker was NOT in his prime at 147.

                Buddy McGirt.....Oscar....Rivera...

                They ALL connected on Whitaker.
                None of them were as fast, powerful, or as good as Ray Leonard.


                Pernell Whitaker is one of the great fighters of all time. But you all are overrating him at 147.

                ray Leonard, at 147, is one of the greatest fighters in history.

                  At 147 Leonard beats Whitaker. Pound for pound at their best I think Whitaker's defense will clown Leonard at times enough to win a close decision. Leonard is quick but Whitaker's defense was just incredible.
