The Mayweather / Whitaker comparison

[niceguy45]

Whitaker was the real deal. PBF is a fake.

i want to hear that from MAYWEATHER90

[New Life 79]

"Mayweather took flush shots from Judah and was in a hard fight with Jesus Chavez as well as Jose Luis Castillo. I think hes shown he can get hit and take it. Whitaker got the **** beat out of him by trinidad and he was way past it, if mayweather showing you he can "take a good punch" when hes past his prime against someone whos in their prime in a one sided beating is your idea of proving something, there where were you during the other 30 fights before then?"


True, Mayweather has showed he can take a punch, but neither Castillo, Chavez or Judah his as hard as Oscar. This fight will answer how good chin he really has. And by the way what Whitaker showed in his fight with Trinidad was that even fighting flatfooted and past his prime, he showed he had a warrior mentality and his chin held him up for 12 rounds against a bigger and hard hitting fighter.

I think Judah punches harder than Oscar.

They make for boring fights, people like action in fights not some guy whos running around like a little school girl.

I dont think Judah hits harder, but who really knows. To bad that Judah is often to causus and plays to much in his fights, becuase he has speed and talent. And he did give Mayweather problems earlie on in there fights, but Mayweather is a great fighter at adapting quick and take over his fights.

Mayweather has two hands and two feet. So does Whitaker.

The comparison ends there. Whitaker is the one has the bigger names and better accomplishments. Getting 'hated on' does not make you great. Let's see how Floyd does vs an older Oscar compared to how a coked-up Whitaker did vs young Oscar...then we can have a chat, maybe.

Probably a fruitless chat though if Floyd retires after the fight.

thank you , and by the way whitaker was way better than pbf, has a better record thus far, and also it's not all about who is undefeated or not, a loss could give a fighter more credit than a win, a great champion has his day returns like a gladiator and gets his revenge and overcome that loss, not b*tch about.....guys like hearns, leonard, duran, haggler should be in the hall of fame by thenself and have a new hall of fame for this new generation seriously

I wouldn't lose until I had no choice. It
sounds like you don't respect a boxer UNTIL he loses.

Good point!

[realheavyhands]

Just a question for the US fans really,you have two highly skilled fighters here who both are/were untouchable in their primes.It seems like Mayweather gets alot of hate for his defensive points building style,i remember Whitaker winning most of his fights in the same sort of manor,he never got in war's and just stuck to what he did best(as he should do).I get the impression that Whitaker gets great credit for his style and accomplishments and yet Mayweather gets hate.Two top class fighters who in my opinion will walk into the hall of fame with no problem but why the hate for one and not the other?

whitiker fought everybody ,, he moved up to fight the best . not just moved up
