Pernell Whitaker is overrated on these forums

[Vladimir303]

that doesnt really make sense. the first four rounds before Mayweather adjusted were pretty even, and some would say Judah won them, altho personally I thought the rounds were split between them. and Judah primarily used his left hand to be effective. Pernell would be stuffing that very effective jab along with that left hand, and would be able to slip punches much better than Judah as well.

the reach difference between Judah and Whitaker is very little Im sure, I doubt it would make much of a difference.

I'm not saying it would be a easy fight. But I say floyd would beat him by split decision. It would be a close technical fight. Pernell would do some of the stuff you said and floyd would do some of the stuff I said. Floyd has a good defense both covering up and slipping punches. He has good footwork and will use if if needed. He can cover up like Winky Wright and just go forward and apply pressure if he feels like it's working for him. I say at the end of the day, floyd would win by a close decision but a convincing decision

Really? You honestly believe Floyd would jab Pernell to death? *****.

Anyway, the title of this thread is "Pernell Whitaker is overrated on these forums"....

He's a genuine legend. He's definitely NOT overrated

do you have their reaches? Im interested what they are.

and either way it doesnt matter. Pernell could land the jab consistantly against a 5'11 De La Hoya, Mayweather is only 5'8 and 2 inches isnt even much, not enough a difference to make a jab ineffective.

and Mayweather has a good jab but its not amazing and he doesnt use extremely often, if there was a punch that would be effective in this matchup it would be Floyd's lead right hand.
