      Floyd's offense was not better. You saying he used the ring more is true, but better? Nah. He fought off the ropes better because Pea was NEVER on the ropes.

      If you think he could've knocked Pea down or out we'll stop this conversation now, because having heard that and read your signtaure under your name, it's pretty obvious what I'm dealing with there.

        I dont see that happening at all. Oscar was arguably faster than Floyd, had a longer reach and couldnt land **** on Whitaker.

        I just dont see many fighters landing hard enough to out. He was put down a few times, but usually wen he was ****in around, and he recovered quick. He was never in serious trouble apart from when he was shot against Tito.

          Whitaker was much better at LW than at WW, this makes no sense.

          Too fast with his counter-punching? So was Pea, his counter left hook/straight was better than anything I've seen in Floyd's arsenal.

          Otherwise you don't really anlayze anything in this post, so I have nothing constructive to respond to.

            I wouldnt even want to know who would win since it was neither guys best weight. Floyd is too small for the weight and is just getting by on crazy talent while Sweet Pea was older at that weight and on drugs

              He was at the end of his career, not in his prime, nor was he old. Against McGirt and co he was not coked out or old.
