Pernell Whittaker vs Ray Leonard

[bigdlb12]

very good match up, I will say SRL only because he alway tend to keeping going,good speed and ok power. a 12 round tech fight (boxing)

I didn't read Italian saying welter...just prime.

Pea was at his best at 135 and 140...I still do not think that Leonard KO's Pea at 147.

Pea was already on the decline by the time he fought Oscar and he kept it very close. In fact, he could have managed the decision had he been more aggressive throughout the fight. He scored the KD, but it was not enough...I still thought Oscar won but it was very close. Oscar never hurt him.

SRL was a welterweight king. I agree that if a young, lively Tito couldn't KO a shot Pea at 147 then SRL couldn't have done it either...especially if it was the Pea that beat McGirt and Rivera.

I think "prime" for respective "prime", Pea beats SRL by close decision.

Let me add that I think SRL beats Pea at 147 by UD.

IT HANDS DOWN SUGAR RAY LEONARD, the guy who TKO'd Hearns in his prime, the guy who Decision Hagler in his prime, the guy who frustrated Duran in his prime, I dont think the sweet pea can beat any one of this guys at their prime so how can Pernel beat the sugarman....

[acquitted]

this fight would be like de la hoya vs whitaker....whitaker dosent throw enough punches to beat offensive minded fighters...leonard by easy decision
