Who is or was more Exciting Whitaker or PBF

[Steak]

Mayweather had some good ones, but overall I liked Whitaker a bit more. The amount of what they do in the ring is actually about equal...but Whitaker always had this layed back rhythm to his fighting...kind of like how relaxed James Toney is. it was fun to watch.

I both like to watch them for their amazing skill as well

all i can say is if this board existed back in the early 90's during sweetpeas run, replace PBF hate with whiatker, because thats exactly what was happening in that time, NOBODY liked whitaker outside of black people and boxing enthusiests and its easy to say what youre saying now about how exciting he is, but alot of you are able to reflect and be revisionists, but during whitakers time, he got alot of the same hate mayweather gets, "a runner", "a big mouth" "arrogant"

thats why i dont even care to vote.

This post just shut this thread down for real. Great post. People have been making some great posts today. Nothing else needs to be said by me.

A poll option should be are the equally exciting. That would be my vote.

exactly

whitiker wasnt considered exciting at the time
he was P4P but people critisized him the same way they did
floyd. now that he dont fight and floyd does floyd gets the
hate sweet pea gets the love. jsut liek when roy was on
top he got all the hate when he lsot and wasnt fighting as often
he gets alot fo love.

as a boxer and a boxing fan i find defense as exciting as offense.
how can you be a fan and not find floyd exciting. how can you be
a fan and jsut find all out offense exciting. the whole sport of boxing is
exciting to me. the only style i find boring is ruiz and now hopkins.
i feel floyd is a more well rounded fighter than sweet pea. floyd has better
offensive options than whitiker. whitiker had amazing footwork and lots of
upperbody movement but his main weappon was his jab and straight left.

floyd uses his whole body for his defence. his footwork balance speed upperbody movement his shoulder. howcan fights with corley gatti ndou
corales be forgotten?
