mayweather v.s pernell(sweet pea)whitaker take your pick and why

[shawn_]

I dont know where you got this idea that Whitaker doesnt have an offense. He appears in the top25 punches landed compubox stats 3 times. With 526, 464, and 426 punches landed.

Show me a fight where Mayweather landed even close to 526 punches. I really dont think you have ever seen Whitaker fight. If you have, you would know how absurd it is to think Mayweather would have any more chance at beating him than you would.

you entitled to your opinion.. but he isnt on the level whitaker was on.. He was just great, so its not like floyd has to feel bad..

floyd fanboys are so blind..

Thats just not fair. Let me know when Sweet Pea was a 5 division champ. Thats what people keep failing to understand. People diss Floyd but he's not like Hatton. If Floyd stayed at 130 then he wouldve killed all these guys, been talked about as a guy with great power, and seem unbeatable. He's P4P the smallest guy in boxing and is fighting and beating all these monsters. This is what people fail to understand the most. Its not like Floyd is these other guys and is in his normal weight class. If that was the case then Floyd wouldve had like 5 more fights at 135 and just now would be getting to 140. How good do you think he wouldve looked then? The guy is not even a WW yet he's the WW champ and just beat Oscar at 154. He walks around at 150. People dont give him enough credit for that. If he was still at 140 then you wouldnt be saying he isnt a great fighter.

Its just like when people say that he's not as good as SRL or Hearns but there always thinking about them at 147 vs him at 147. How fair is that? If anything you compare them at 147 to him at 130 and Floyd easily holds his own. Both those guys ended up at LHW and Floyd is 10x better at 154 then they were at LHW. People dont look at these things. They want to compare him vs them at WW when he's not even a real WW and they started there careers at WW. Its not a fair comparison at all. Atleast give Floyd time to grow into being a WW which might be his next fight but it stilll wouldnt be fair. Those guys were much bigger then him and he's much better at higher weights then all those guys were

Pernell is a better all round fighter then floyd i think but floyd would win due to his defence and timing is better!!!

It doesnt matter who he fights or how good he looks, Floyd is not on the same level defensively or offensivly as Whitaker.

Please tell me you didnt just say Mayweather has better defensive skills than this man...

[robjr]

amen amen!!

We are not discrediting floyds skillz.. Pernells are just better.. thats just hwo it is!!! we dont make the rules honestly!!

It doesnt matter who he fights or how good he looks, Floyd is not on the same level defensively or offensivly as Whitaker.

I totally disagree. What has sweet pea done to prove he was better Offensivley? He was solid but nothing special. He doesnt have the arsenal Floyd has. Now you can say he was better defensivley but it wasnt but a whole lot. It also will always look that way because his style was to not be hit while Floyd doesnt care about being hit. You still havent seen Floyd get hit clean a bunch. Also, what does any of that have to do with head to head? Are you trying to tell me that Sweet Pea would land alot of him but he wouldnt land on Sweet Pea? You know that is not true. There styles would make it much easier for Floyd to land on him then the other way around.

Also finish reading what I wrote in my last post. I edited it some but it probally doesnt matter

I honestly don't know who would win, but Pernell is a true champion at heart, and so he deserves the pick.
If Zab gave Floyd fits, I'm sure PeeWee would too. But there's no way either one would dominate the other. They are both too good for that.

As DLT points out, Floyd doesn't get as much credit as he should, considering he's only a jr welter at most. However, you're still defined by what you do, not what you're capable of, so Whitaker it is for me.

[DLT]

You put pictures up against slow guys but Sweet Pea did get hit by speedy guys like McGirt and a guy like Zab wouldve also landed alot on him.

I dont even want to argue about this because Sweet Pea is my man to the fullest but you cant just say one guy is plain better either way

[robjr]

o dude.. you must be such a big floyd fan.. its ok. whatever you say... lol
