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.Comment

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.Comment

Whitaker was much better at LW than at WW, this makes no sense.if it was at 135, i give to floyd no doubt, because as fast as sweet pea was, floyd was too fast with his counterpuncing at the smaller weight classes. pernell is a southpaw an di could see floyd having some problems with him, but i see floyd winning this fight also, even with the struggle. they are both masters of the defense, but floyd fought at better angles imo and sweet pea was the better head mover, buit floyd imo would have been too fast for pernell and pernell by no means was slow, he was also fast as ****, but floyd did everything at a fast pace, and at 135 or 140, floyd would have been too much for pernell. this is a dream match i always wanted to see and still want to see for that matter, of course with them both in their primes.
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.Comment

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.Comment
